Dear all, This week has been one of finals and firsts for the Secondary Campus. This afternoon saw the clock run down on the final IB examination of the May 2022 session - my congratulations to our Year 13 students. It has been an intense 3 weeks, a fitting culmination of a rich and challenging programme of study, made even more demanding by the context of these last two years.

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.

Education in its essence is about change, it is a slow process - evolution not revolution. But, every now and then it creates moments that serve as mileposts, as markers on our journey. This week, we had the opportunity for two such mileposts for our Year 7 students and our Year 12 students.
