For all these complexities, there have also been moments of celebration and great joy.<\/p>\n<p>From our youngest students holding an animal exhibition, to Merit Certificate presentations or our Year 10 Commerce Market Day, this week has had lots of different celebrations of the learning and growth in students as we approach the holiday break. These are not celebrations of perfection, but instead, these are opportunities to recognise the incremental development in students&#8217; skills, thinking, approach and knowledge following an extended block of learning.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the Year 10 Market Day on Monday, our Commerce students were the &#8216;entrepreneurs&#8217; challenged with generating ideas for their business, assessing the feasibility, collaborating, marketing their idea, problem-solving, planning, resolving differences of opinion and organising themselves. In doing so, they learned a lot &#8230; but also provided a fun and enjoyable lunchtime experience for the &#8216;consumers&#8217; of Secondary School.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-25912 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/SceggsEF26__020.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/SceggsEF26__020-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/SceggsEF26__319.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/SceggsEF26__319-300x278.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/SceggsEF26__109.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/SceggsEF26__109-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Throughout this term, there were many moments where our community came together in similar ways; from the lively Drama Production <em>Girl Asleep, <\/em>uplifting <em>Musicale 2 <\/em>featuring special guest artist Lior, the Primary and Secondary School Athletics Carnivals, marking National Reconciliation Week and of course, celebrating the official opening of Wilkinson House.<\/p>\n<div class=\"highlight\">\n<p>Another community highlight on the SCEGGS calendar is the Festival on Forbes on Sunday 23 August.
