Secondary School Update (27 October 2023)
Weekly update from Head of Secondary
Next week, from Tuesday to Friday, our year-level residential trips occur for Years 7 to 12, embarking on exciting and enriching expeditions through Vietnam.
These trips align closely with our core aims of fostering challenge, bonding, self-discovery, and community service. Students will be exposed to a range of carefully curated activities designed to push their boundaries and promote personal growth.
Through shared experiences, students will forge lasting connections and develop a sense of unity.
Moreover, these trips offer an invaluable opportunity for self-reflection and exploration, enabling students to discover their strengths and passions. By engaging in community service initiatives, students will cultivate a deeper understanding of global citizenship.
Get ready for an unforgettable journey of discovery and impact!
