Showcase Celebration! 

Language Arts Showcase 2025 was held last night. Thanks to all who attended. It was a delight to celebrate our girls’ impressive achievements. 

Celebrating our Speakers! State and National finalists 

Arabella Hoang (Year 8) and Imogen Kee (Year 10) progressed to the state finals of the UN Voice, held at NSW Parliament House this week. To reach state finals is a most impressive achievement. Further, Imogen placed first in the Senior division and progresses to National finals in April next year. 

Bravo girls!
