Year 9
Police Liaison Visit
This week, Yr 9 were visited by the Police Liaison Officer Senior Constable Lynda Hart, who delivered a powerful presentation focused on making safe choices regarding drugs, alcohol and other risk taking behaviours.
HICES Music Festival
Students from Years 7-12 will be attending the HICES Music Festival from Sunday 13 – Wednesday 16 August. This Heads of Independent Coeducational Schools (HICES) Music Festival draws schools from across Sydney for a 3-day camp, culminating in a concert at Sydney Town Hall on the final evening. Schools, students, and teachers compare practice, foster excellence, and nurture a love of music-making in the shared context. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students and this year we have one Yr 9 student attending, Katherine Budden.
