Throughout the day, students demonstrated enthusiasm and confidence as they took part in a range of events. For many, the highlight wasn’t the race itself, but the chance to be in the water alongside classmates, pushing themselves at their own level while being supported by peers on the sidelines. It was especially heart‑warming to see students encouraging one another cheering loudly, celebrating every finish, and showing genuine pride in each other’s efforts. These moments of encouragement and teamwork reflect the positive culture we strive to build within our school.

Events like the swimming carnival play a vital role in student development. They provide opportunities for children to step outside their comfort zones, practise resilience, and experience the satisfaction that comes from giving something their best effort. Physical activities also help promote wellbeing, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment, while shared experiences strengthen relationships and build a stronger sense of belonging across the school community. These carnivals remind students that success isn’t measured only in results, but in participation, courage, and enjoying the experience together.

We extend a warm congratulations to Jarah House for being the winning house this year. Their positive spirit, teamwork, and encouragement contributed to a well‑deserved overall victory. All houses should be proud of the enthusiasm and sportsmanship shown throughout the day.

Thank you to our staff and families for supporting the event, and well done to all students for making the carnival such an enjoyable and memorable part of our school year.

From the moment they arrived, students were immersed in a world of adventure. One of the highlights was the thrilling spy games, and the fun continued with laser tag, where students dashed, ducked and strategised through fast‑paced games that had everyone laughing and cheering.

For those who loved a challenge, the high ropes course provided the perfect opportunity to step outside their comfort zones. Students climbed, balanced and zipped through the course with courage and determination, supported all the way by their classmates.

Camp also offered plenty of opportunities to cool off with water games, which were a huge hit in the afternoons. These sessions were full of energy, splashes and lots of smiles.

A special highlight of the week was the group’s visit to the WA Museum Boola Bardip, where students explored exhibits that connected to their learning and expanded their curiosity about Western Australia’s history, culture and natural environment.

One of the most exciting moments came when students visited Outback Splash and had the entire place to themselves! With no lines and endless opportunities to ride, slide, splash and explore, the day was pure joy from start to finish.

In the evenings, students were encouraged and grounded through a peaceful and thoughtful devotional led by Mrs Tucker. Her message offered students a chance to reflect, connect and wind down after busy days of activity.

Throughout the entire camp, our Year 6 students showed excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and teamwork. Their willingness to participate, encourage one another and embrace new challenges made this year’s camp an incredible success.

A special thank‑you goes to the FCC Team who made the camp possible. Their dedication, support and care ensured a safe and memorable experience for every student.

The Year 6 cohort returned home tired but with wide smiles, a true sign of a fantastic camp and a wonderful way to celebrate their final year of primary school.

A Team Effort from Start to Finish

While these individual triumphs were impressive, what truly set our team apart was the collective effort. Every swimmer contributed points, supported one another, and demonstrated impeccable sportsmanship throughout the day. Their positive attitude and team spirit played a huge role in our overall victory.

A big thank‑you to our staff, parents, and volunteers who assisted on the day and supported our swimmers in their preparation. Your encouragement and commitment make achievements like this possible.

Congratulations once again to all our swimmers what an outstanding result!

One of the highlights of the day was the Primary Harmony Day Parade, where students proudly showcased their vibrant cultural outfits. The parade created a wonderful atmosphere as students walked, danced, and smiled their way around the school grounds, representing cultures from all around the world. It was heartwarming to see their confidence as they shared their heritage and traditions with classmates and teachers.

Throughout the day, classes across all year levels engaged in activities that encouraged inclusivity, cultural awareness, and respect. From storytelling and art projects to discussions about family backgrounds and traditions, students had meaningful opportunities to explore what harmony and diversity truly mean.

We extend a warm thank you to our students, families, and staff for helping make Harmony Day an enjoyable and meaningful celebration. Your enthusiasm and support continue to make our school a welcoming place where every student feels valued.

We are incredibly proud of each member of the choir for their hard work, bravery, and willingness to share their talents. Their performance was a wonderful reminder of the vibrant creativity thriving within our primary students.

One of the most memorable activities was raft building, where groups worked together to design, construct and test their own rafts. Using teamwork, creativity and a touch of problem‑solving, students put their engineering skills to the test to create vessels sturdy enough to float and in some cases, carry their whole team across the water! The splashes and laughter that followed made it an instant camp favourite.

On land, students brought out their competitive side with a lively tug‑of‑war competition. Each round was full of determination as teams dug their heels in and pulled with all their strength. The cheering, encouragement and good‑natured rivalry created an atmosphere of excitement and school spirit.

Throughout the camp, students also took part in group games, designed to build communication, cooperation and teamwork. Whether solving challenges, racing through tasks or working together to beat the clock, the games helped students bond and created plenty of shared memories.

Beyond the activities, camp life allowed students time to relax, recharge and enjoy the company of their peers outside the classroom. Their enthusiasm, behaviour and willingness to participate made the experience rewarding for both students and staff.

The Year 7 Camp was a fantastic start to the year filled with teamwork, adventure and friendships that will continue to grow throughout their high school journey.

One of the highlights of the week was the High Ropes Course, where students tested their courage several metres above the ground. Whether they were balancing across wobbly beams or taking a leap of faith from the platform, everyone showed incredible determination and team spirit. It was inspiring to see students stepping outside their comfort zones and cheering each other on every step of the way.

Down on the water, students took part in rafting, working together to paddle, balance and navigate as a team. The activity was full of splashes, laughter, friendly competition and a healthy dose of persistence especially when the wind or waves made things extra challenging!

Students also enjoyed the challenge of archery, learning new skills as they took aim at the targets. For many, it was their first experience holding a bow, and they quickly discovered how much focus and control it takes. Friendly contests soon emerged, and quite a few students surprised themselves with impressive accuracy.

These were just a few of the activities that filled the week. Between the adventure sessions, shared meals, evening games and time spent together at the campsite, the camp offered a wonderful chance for students to connect, relax and enjoy a break from routine. As always, their behaviour, enthusiasm and willingness to participate made staff incredibly proud.

A huge thank‑you goes to the teachers and support staff who attended, encouraged and supervised throughout the trip. Their energy and care ensured that the camp ran smoothly and safely from start to finish.

Our Year 9 students returned home tired but smiling a sure sign of an excellent camp. We’re already looking forward to the next adventure!

Students arrived dressed in their finest, greeted by warm smiles, plenty of photo opportunities, and a beautifully decorated venue that set the tone for the night. The ballroom glowed with fairy lights and soft colours, creating the perfect backdrop for an evening of celebration and connection.

After a formal welcome from staff, students enjoyed a delicious meal and the chance to relax and reflect with friends. But it was the dance floor that truly came to life—filled from the first song to the last, with everyone embracing the moment and enjoying the music. Laughter, dancing, and unforgettable memories filled the room as students celebrated the friendships and experiences that have shaped their journey so far.

One of the highlights of the evening was the slideshow featuring photos from the cohort’s early years through to today a nostalgic reminder of how much they have grown. The photo booth, of course, was also a favourite, capturing joyful snapshots that will be cherished long after graduation.

Events like the Year 12 Ball are made possible thanks to the dedication of our staff, coordinators, and student leaders. Their hard work in organising the night ensured that it was a seamless and memorable experience for all.

As our Year 12 students continue into their final year of schooling, the Ball stands as a wonderful reminder of their achievements, friendships, and the exciting future ahead. It was a night filled with pride, celebration, and the promise of what comes next.

From the opening race to the final relay, the pool deck buzzed with excitement as students cheered on their peers, encouraged their factions, and pushed themselves to do their very best. Whether competing in championship events or taking part in novelty races, every student contributed to the vibrant atmosphere that makes this carnival a highlight of our school year.

The carnival provided a wonderful platform for students to showcase their swimming ability, but more importantly, their character. Throughout the day, we saw outstanding displays of perseverance and encouragement students celebrating personal bests, supporting each other through challenging races, and stepping up with enthusiasm whenever their team needed them.

Our core values naturally shone through the day: excellence was demonstrated in the pool, respect was evident in the sportsmanship shown between competitors, and a spirit of service was present in the many students who volunteered, assisted staff, or cheered tirelessly from the sidelines.

One of the true highlights was the incredible house spirit on display. Colourful banners, chants echoing across the pool, and light‑hearted rivalry added to the sense of unity and excitement. Each house brought its own unique energy, contributing to a fun and uplifting environment that students and staff alike enjoyed.

The event not only celebrated musical talent but also provided a platform for students to build confidence, develop stage presence, and share something they are passionate about with the broader school community. Many students stepped outside their comfort zones, and the supportive audience made their performances even more memorable.

The Summer Music Series was a wonderful celebration of creativity and community an uplifting way to enjoy the final weeks of term. We congratulate all our performers and look forward to even more music‑making in the year ahead!

Across the day, audiences were treated to a variety of musical items that showcased the depth of skill within our school’s music program. From instrumental pieces to vocal features, each performance reflected the hard work students have been putting into rehearsals this year. Spectators stopped to watch, listen, and cheer—many commenting on the energy, enthusiasm, and musicality our students brought to the stage.

Opportunities like Crabfest not only celebrate student achievement but also help develop valuable performance experience, teamwork, and the ability to connect with community audiences. Our students represented the school with pride, maturity, and a genuine love for music.

A huge thank‑you to our dedicated music staff for preparing and supporting the students, and congratulations to all who performed you were outstanding. We look forward to many more moments of music‑making throughout the year!

The afternoon was filled with everything we love about choir: vibrant singing, creative music games, and plenty of laughter. Students old and new mixed easily, forming new friendships and reconnecting with familiar faces. The atmosphere reflected exactly what our choir community is all about support, fun, teamwork, and a shared passion for music.

A heartfelt thank‑you goes to our talented and dedicated choir conductors, Mr Jacob Correia, Mrs Rachel Martella, and Mrs Angela Currie, for leading the event. Their encouragement, musical expertise, and warm leadership helped make Kickstart into Choir not only enjoyable but inspiring for all who attended.

With such a strong beginning and so many new voices joining us, we are excited for what the year will bring. Here’s to a fantastic year of singing, performing, and growing together as a choir community!
