From the Middle School
Last Thursday, Year 8 was involved in the PDHPE Dance Incursion in the Jeanette Buckham Gymnasium. It was a fabulous event that saw the girls embrace the activities and step up to the challenge of the routines. Our Year 8 Heads of Year also enjoyed joining in the fun. Congratulations to all Houses for your enthusiastic participation.
Student reflection
Last Thursday, Year 8 students had the exciting opportunity to participate in the highly anticipated House Dance incursion. Students came together to showcase their talents and work as a team. Throughout the day, students engaged in a variety of dance workshops led by the wonderful instructors who encouraged everyone to step out of their comfort zones and express themselves through movement. By the end of the day, everyone left with unforgettable memories, a newfound appreciation for dance, and a sense of achievement. It was truly a fantastic experience that highlighted the creativity and team spirit of Year 8 students.
Great job to Edith, Gloria, Maddie, Jessamy, Skye and Georgia who were amazing in the mascot dance! Special thanks to Chloe D and Chloe X for putting together the mascot dance choreography and music.

Well done to Year 7 who completed the first round of Naplan testing today and good luck for tomorrow for the final testing.
Next week, half of Year 7 (Bennett, Goodlet, Hammond and Ingleholme) will be heading out to Vision Valley on Tuesday for their four-day Outdoor Education program. It promises to be an opportunity to build relationships, step up to challenges both physical and mental and a whole lot of fun.
Year 8 will be off campus tomorrow supporting the Pymble Swim team at the igsa Swimming competition out at Homebush. The girls are invited to wear their sports uniform to and from school for this event. They will attend classes until recess and then head out. Thank you to students in Year 7 and 8 who created posters over lunchtime to help cheer on Pymble.
Congratulations to our girls who competed in the Southern Cross Regional Robotics Competition on the weekend. Our Year 8-9 team placed fourth which is incredible considering it was their first attempt in this event. Well done to Olivia Le Chen who represented Middle School on the team.
This Tuesday’s Gloucester Gathering was a very successful session of K-Pop Dancing. The girls made the most of the space in the GMCPA foyer and had a wonderful time.
As well as our weekly Gloucester Gathering activities, Conde Library has a suite of things happening across lunchtimes (see below). Please encourage your daughters to get involved.
