Dear Parents and Friends

Welcome to Week 8, and what an exciting

week it has been. Teachers are very busy

putting the final comments on school

reports, year 12 are preparing for their

final weeks of school and there are many

classes getting into the Christmas spirit.

School Formal

Last night our senior school students looked

amazing as they walked the red carpet to be

presented to Tracey. The night marked the

first of our celebration activities as we

prepare to say goodbye to our year 12

students. It was great to see our year 10

and 11 students and their families joining in

the celebrations for the night. A big

thankyou must go to all the staff who gave

up their time to make the night possible. A

special thankyou also to Natasha Brown who

coordinated the event, even though she is

on leave presently, and to Kiley and the P&C

for catering for the event.

The night would not have been possible

without the amazing music provided by Ryan

from Mobilistic DJ’s who stepped in at 5.30

yesterday afternoon when our booked DJ

failed to turn up. Big thanks to Mel Drone

for her organisational skills in finding Ryan

at such short notice.

Check out the photos later in the

newsletter !!!!
