Year 9

This week, we celebrated the achievements of some Year 9 students who demonstrated Growth and Courage. Congratulations to Melisande Pitman, Caydence Sumantri and Hemani Ramesh, who all achieved their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and were awarded their certificate and pin during our Year Meeting.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a voluntary program of activities for anyone aged between 13 to 25. It offers individual challenge and encourages young people to undertake exciting, constructive and enjoyable activities in their free time. To achieve their Bronze Award, students need to complete three months of regular Voluntary Service, Physical Recreation and Skills, plus complete a practice and qualifying Adventurous Journey.

For further details about the Duke of Edinburgh program, students can pick up a Duke of Edinburgh starter pack from the Studies Office.

Middle Years Production

On Wednesday, I had the absolute joy of watching the 2025 Middle Years Drama Production, Trackers by Donna Hughes, and it was nothing short of amazing. Set in a dystopian future, the play tells a story of courage and hope, as a group of students begin to question the world around them. Year 9 shone on stage and as part of the crew, delivering powerful and thought-provoking performances from start to finish. Directed by Alisha Vigna, the production was a true testament to the creativity, hard work, and passion of the Middle Years students. Well done all!

School Uniform

If you have not done so already, please ensure you have booked in your daughter for her Student Senior Uniform fitting appointment. Your are reminded that skirt lengths should be at the knee, please don’t cut the hems as girls inevitably grow over the 3 years they wear this uniform. Appointments can be made online by clicking here.

Finally, as we approach the final weeks of term for the year, we ask for your assistance in supporting your daughter to continue to wear her School Uniform well. We will continue to have regular checks during Luminary to ensure Year 9 are wearing their uniforms appropriately, and support her as required. A reminder that eyelash extensions, mascara and nail polish are not part of the School Uniform. Any student who has make-up, nail polish or eyelash extensions will be expected to remove them.
