NSW STATE OZTAG CHAMPIANS | Following their win at the Regional tournament last term, our Senior Oztag Team has emerged as the reigning NSW State Champions! Over the course of two sun-drenched days, our team exhibited exceptional skill on the field, remaining undefeated throughout the state tournament. They astoundingly netted a total of 43 tries while only allowing 7 tries to be scored against them in 8 games—an impressive feat that truly showcases their prowess and determination. What was just as pleasing as our victory was the remarkable camaraderie and sportsmanship exhibited by our students, both on and off the field. A special commendation is in order for our departing Year 12 students, Evie McGrath and Lily Riolo, who not only exemplified exceptional leadership but also collectively tallied an astounding 20 tries.

UNCOVERING AUSTRALIA’S HISTORY | Our Year 8 students embarked on a fascinating journey to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney, where they delved into the rich tapestry of Australia's past. Guided by historians and archaeologists, our students immersed themselves in the fascinating world of pre-colonial Aboriginal communities. They discovered the secrets of how Indigenous people lived, thrived, and cultivated a harmonious relationship with the land for generations. The excursion also shed light on the profound impact of colonisation on the environment and the lives of Aboriginal communities during the early years of British colonisation. It's a pivotal chapter in our nation's history that deserves reflection and understanding. #HistoryUnearthed #LearningJourney #RoyalBotanicGardens

FATHER'S DAY | Today, we celebrated Father’s Day at the College with many Dad’s in attendance. It was a wonderful morning, bringing together our College community to honour and appreciate the incredible Dads who play such an important role in our lives. From sharing lots of fun, games and laughter and a yummy breakfast, the Father's Day Breakfast was a beautiful reminder of the love and support that fathers provide. Have a great day on Sunday Dad's! #FathersDay #Fatherhood #CollegeEvents #Celebration
