Congratulations to our talented dancers! Students recently represented our school at the PDSSSC Dance Competition with seven entries across various categories. Their hard work, dedication, and passion for dance shone through in their outstanding performances and results. We are proud to share that our Senior Lyrical Team achieved 1st place, our Junior Lyrical Team placed 3rd, and Lilly Harris was awarded 1st place for her Senior Solo performance. A special mention also goes to Aria Averillo and Chloe Bont, who participated in their first high school solo performances — an incredible milestone in their dance journey. This year also marked a special moment with our first Year 12 Cultural Routine, representing the school proudly and celebrating our community’s diversity through dance. All of this was made possible through the hard work of the students and the guidance of Mrs Ralston, who supported and guided these students throughout the year. And special mention to Mrs Swan who attended the event and has been in support of dance when Mrs Ralston was unavailable. Well done to everyone involved — your commitment and teamwork continue to make our school proud!

Guests enjoyed delicious catering by our Hospitality students, led by Mrs Leanca Merring, while live music by our talented Year 12 students, under the direction of Mr Andrew Hudson, added to the atmosphere. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated Visual Arts and Photography teachers, Mrs Karolina Ortega, Mrs Natasha Swan, Mrs Chloe Ralston, and Miss Natalie Donaldson, for their passion and efforts in bringing this inspiring evening together. 👏🎶

Our Year 10 History students recently visited the Sydney Jewish Museum as part of their study on The Holocaust. 🕊️ This powerful excursion gave students the opportunity to deepen their understanding through expert talks, guided tours, and viewing historical artefacts. Most profoundly, they heard a first-hand account from a Holocaust survivor, making the experience both meaningful and deeply moving. We are grateful for the opportunity to engage with history in such an impactful way. #SydneyJewishMuseum #HolocaustEducation #LivingHistory
