To BE Courageous.

This has been our focus this term and we have witnessed many wonderful examples of bravery and determination.

A special mention must be given to our Year 7 students who have shown courage in their transition to Senior School. As they embark on their first CITF course, they will demonstrate courage in various ways. For some, it will be the courage to make new friends, for others, it may be camping for the first time, cooking their own dinner, or even trying new foods (especially vegetables).

As our students in Years 7-10 complete their assessment tasks and our Year 11-12 students prepare for their upcoming tasks, we encourage you to support and motivate them to push themselves to strive for their best. A small change in one area can lead to significant benefits in the future.

Our senior students have also displayed courage in their performances in The Visit, our music scholars have shown bravery in their Scholars Recital, and our CAS swimmers have represented the school with pride and determination. Each of them has shown courage in their own unique way.

Lastly, as we enter the Winter season of sport, it is important for our students to embrace the courage to learn new skills, practice these skills, and accept failure until they master them. This is why sport is such a vital part of their development.

Thank you for your continued support in encouraging our students to be courageous and strive for their best.
