Our Under 19 W6 came third in the 250 metre championship final and our Under 16 girls were just pipped at the post by half a second in the 250 metre plate final. Best of all the girls had a great time and were wonderful representatives of our school.

Successful Lockdown Exercise

We have completed our lockdown and evacuation exercise and all students, staff and persons on-site are safely accounted for.  Everyone did extremely well and responded to instructions.  A notice will be going out to parents/caregivers tonight to provide some more information about our emergency lockdown procedures.

We will be sending a notice/email out tonight providing information on what has occurred today.  I would like to personally thank you for your support while we conduct these practices.
