Mr Sean O'Neill: Weekly Update 17/06/2022

This week on the Secondary Campus we have seen the sheer joy of performance and connection through music, drama and literature in a series of stunning events. As we reach the climax of such a unique year, it is so wonderful that our students can share their learning and their spirit with parents, teachers and fellow students in so many ways. I hope you enjoy these highlights and our reflections on the past week.

Mr Sean O'Neill: Weekly Update 25/02/2022

Dear Parents, This week I have had the pleasure of speaking to every student in Years 7-12. We reflected on how special it is to come to school each day and how perhaps we all took for granted the privilege of being able to learn together in classrooms, labs and workshops - sports fields, drama and music rooms and enjoy each other ’s company at break and lunch. We focussed on some key ways to thrive in the weeks and months ahead to squeeze every drop of opportunity out of school life whilst showing respect and care for all in our community, in how we approach our learning, our use of campus spaces and in our relationships with others.

Dear Parents, As we approach the Lunar New Year, we bid farewell to the Year of the Buffalo, a symbol of persistence and determination. I am sure we can all agree that this has certainly been an apt representation of the qualities needed to navigate the past year.
