PE week was energising!
Witnessing the incredible level of participation from so many students was inspiring. At least 500 students from R-9 engaged in a variety of activities in the gym throughout the week; Just Dance, table tennis, gymnastics, dodgeball, and basketball. The energy has been nothing short of awesome.
The highlight was clearly our dedicated staff who maintained their impeccable record by emerging victorious in all staff-student games, including netball, dodgeball, futsal, and basketball.
The Primary Concert is fast approaching.
All classes will perform an item for your enjoyment. We hope you can come along on Friday 8 December to support your children and celebrate the end of a busy 2023 with us.
