Science Week

Congratulations to our amazing Science Department for delivering an outstanding celebration of science under the theme “Decoding the Universe”. Students participated in hands-on activities, interactive demonstrations, and engaging showcases that revealed the hidden languages of nature. My highlight was the delicious creations from our Year 7 Ecochefs, c’est bon! This week has been both inspiring and energising, sparking curiosity in the next generation of scientists and showcasing exciting pathways for the future.

Year 12 Examinations

Congratulations to our Year 12 students who are nearing the conclusion of their IB Diploma Mock Examinations and HSC Trial Examinations, held over the past two weeks. Students have been tested (pun intended) in conditions closely mirroring the final examinations, which commence in October. In fact, this period is arguably more demanding, with all papers scheduled within a tighter timeframe than the official end-of-year assessments. Regular lessons will resume from Monday.

Following this there are optional Parent–Teacher Interviews for Year 12 will be held on Thursday, 28 August, from 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm. Booking details will be sent on Monday, 18 August, via our usual platform, Edval. As in previous years, interviews will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams.

Kind regards,

Adrian Harrison
