Dear Parents and Carers

Yesterday, we hosted our Annual Scholars’ Assembly which is a gathering of the highest achievers from 2024. These achievers are students who achieved an ATAR of 95 or above or if they excelled in a particular course and achieved a State ranking. It was a pleasure to see our former students back with us again. We were addressed by Angus Malcolm (IBDP joint Dux), James Rivlin and Matthew Radvin (joint HSC Dux); their messages of rigour and hard work to our students were superb. In their speeches they also took the time to thank their teachers, which was lovely to hear.

A special thank you to our Year 7 parents who joined our Curriculum Information Webinar on Monday evening. We hope that you found the information helpful, especially if it is your first time as Year 7 parent.

Our Foundation Cocktail party for Year 7 parents and new families is this evening from 6pm and I hope that this is a welcome opportunity to meet some new members of the cohort.

Another round of Sport continues at the weekend which commences on Friday evening with our 1sts and 2nds Basketball teams hosting St Aloysius.

A particular thanks to our new Year 7 students who have embraced their sport admirably.

We look forward to our House Swimming Carnival on Monday 17 February, this is combined with a Multi-Sports Day and is a fantastic House based event. On Tuesday 18 February, we welcome our Year 7 Parents for the CITF  (Outdoor Education) Information Evening. This is an opportunity to hear directly from Mr Tim Lilley who coordinates CITF at Cranbrook.

Have a great week.

Best wishes
