Dear Parents and Carers

Today I was invited to attend a Debating lunch to celebrate the end of the 2024 season. This was an incredibly successful year with all our ISDA teams making the finals and our Senior A team taking out the title. Two special awards were awarded today, the Junior Debater of the Year is Finn Dusseldorp and the Senior Debater of the Year went to Caspar Nicholson. Both have represented the School with incredible distinction.

Last Friday, I attended the School Musical Little Shop of Horrors. The musical performance was simply breathtaking and both casts who performed on alternate evenings are to be congratulated on their professional and humorous, entertaining performances. When you watch a performance like this you have to remind yourself that you’re watching a school musical rather than something in a professional theatre. A special thank you to Mr Benson and all of the staff who were responsible for putting together such a wonderful production.

Summer sport continues this weekend with fixtures mainly against St Aloysius College. A friendly reminder to all students that the correct attire must be worn, not only during the match but to and from the fixtures. Good luck to all teams.

Next Thursday 7 November we will be hosting our Year 7 2025 cohort and we look forward to welcoming them to the Senior School campus and introducing them to a few significant people in the Senior School.

Parking:
Parents are reminded that they are to use the internal Kiss & Drop at our Senior School campus to drop off/pick up their children.  Entry into and exit from the Kiss & Drop is to be a left in/left out movement to minimise disruption to traffic and improve traffic safety.  Parents are also reminded that their sons are strongly discouraged from driving to school and parking in surrounding streets.

Very best wishes for the week ahead.
