Coeducational Transition

This year, our school marked a major milestone in its development, officially transitioning to a coeducational school. We welcomed our first cohort of Year 7 boys alongside our Year 7 girls. The enthusiasm and engagement shown by our new students has been exceptional, and it is clear that our learning environment is richer for having students of all genders learning, collaborating, and growing together.

To support and recognise this important transition, we were honoured to host Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning, the Hon. Prue Car, early in Term 1. The Minister visited the school to observe how students and staff were settling into the coeducational model.

Duke of Edinburgh Award program

This program is more than an extracurricular activity – it is a comprehensive framework that develops resilience, leadership, initiative, and service to the community. It is encouraging to see so many of our young people challenging themselves physically, socially, and emotionally in order to achieve their awards. Each student is to be commended for their commitment to this internationally recognised program and also the staff who dedicate time to supporting and supervising its delivery.

In September, nearly 50 students participating across the various levels took part in Qualifying and Adventurous Journey hikes across Sydney.

Luna Park Year 7 Excursion

On Friday, 19th September, Year 7 enjoyed an unforgettable excursion to Luna Park! The weather was perfect, and the excitement was contagious. Students explored the park at their own pace, enjoyed the rides, and even won some giant prizes—some needed extra seats on the bus to take them home!

The purpose of this visual arts excursion was to provide students with an opportunity to observe and experience real-world environments, inspiring their creative thinking and encouraging them to engage with the world around them as potential sources for artistic expression. During the day, students were able to apply their understanding of visual composition, perspective, and artistic observation in an exciting and dynamic setting.

We are incredibly proud of this remarkable group—they demonstrated maturity, responsibility, and enthusiasm throughout the day.
