Preparing Students for 2022 - Subject Evenings We recently held our annual Senior Subject Information Evening. This event was a fantastic opportunity for parents and students to learn what is on offer at the Senior Campus in 2022 – while considering their future pathways.

The Junior Campus Information Evening saw more than 100 guests visit our school for tours, connect with teachers, attend subject presentations by students, and hear about what is on offer at the Junior Campus in 2022. A very big thank you to our student leaders at both campuses who did a marvellous job speaking on the night, conducting tours and serving food.
