\"\"As we come to the end of term, it is wonderful to reflect on what has been a busy and rewarding few weeks. We have celebrated NAIDOC Week, Book Week, STEM Week and the House Athletics Carnival, while students have also taken part in the PASS ski trip, performed in the Showcase Concert, competed in Archdale debating, attended a range of excursions and contributed to many other events across the School. These experiences have provided many opportunities for students to connect, participate and contribute positively to the wider life of the School.<\/p>\n

This week we celebrated a whole School communion and heard the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders.<\/em> The story reminds us of the person who built their house on solid rock, creating a foundation strong enough to withstand the storm. This message is particularly relevant for Year 9 as they continue to develop the habits, skills and character that will support them as learners. With a few assessments still to come next term, I encourage students to focus on steady improvement and continued growth, rather than measuring success only by marks.<\/p>\n

We also joined in celebrating and farewelling the Year 12 2026 cohort. I hope Year 9 students have taken many positive messages from this group, who have led with gratitude, respect and generosity. They have been wonderful role models for the younger years and have shown the positive impact that kindness, commitment and School Spirit can have on a community. The photo from this week is Year 9 ready for the Guard of Honour after the Year 12 final Valedictory assembly.<\/p>\n

I hope everyone enjoys a restful and well deserved break after such a busy term. I look forward to welcoming students back for the start of Term 4 on Tuesday 13 October 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n
