Middle School
celebration
The Middle School has celebrated the graduation of its 20 Year 8 students and acknowledged their contribution to the school with their unique personalities and enthusiasm.
School captains Lucy Pascoe and Travis Smith have done a fantastic job, leading this year, organising the Middle Years disco, running sub-school assemblies and even whole school assemblies when needed, as well as providing outstanding role models for other students, guiding their younger peers and bringing a positive vibe in the school.
During the Middle Years, students have completed various subjects, in particular they have enjoyed using the new facilities for technology and science subjects.
Students have also attended camps in Rubicon, Melbourne and all the way interstate to Canberra for the Year 5/6s with Pyramid Hill College, and have worked to strengthen the Middle School’s supportive and inclusive community.
Junior school
supports peers
The Year 4 students have had a successful year. Students have exhibited remarkable leadership within the Junior Sub-School.
They have supported their younger peers, maintained a positive attitude, and shared their enthusiasm with everyone.
These students have demonstrated confidence and continued to represent the Junior Sub-School fantastically.
Their leadership and assistance to those in need have been highly commendable. In Term 4, students ventured to Anglesea, where they faced personal challenges and developed independence.
To conclude the year, they celebrated with a joint ceremony alongside Year 8 students.
Sub-School captains, Owen Hocking and Piper Ellis, displayed exceptional leadership, frequently presenting at P12 assemblies.
The college wishes them the best as they embark on the next phase of their journey as they move into the middle sub-school.
