A Harmonious week was had by all...
What a vibrant and heartwarming Harmony Week it was last week! Our school truly shone in its inclusivity and cultural celebration. It was wonderful to see everyone embracing diversity and coming together as one community. From colourful displays to delicious shared meals, the spirit of harmony was palpable. A special shout-out to all the Harmony Ambassadors who contributed to making it such a memorable week!
Adding to the festive spirit were the energetic lunchtime football games, where students from most years showcased their skills and sportsmanship. These games were more than just competition; they were a fantastic opportunity to build friendships and celebrate teamwork. The laughter and camaraderie on the field perfectly echoed the spirit of Harmony Week.
Forging Bonds, Conquer Heights: Year 10 Mentoring Program Reaches New Peak!
This week, our male mentoring program participants from Year 10 faced a true test of grit and camaraderie! They embarked on a challenging hike up the firetrail to the Boambee radio tower just west of Coffs, tackling rugged terrain and even a few tenacious leeches. The journey was more than just a physical feat; it was an opportunity to build resilience, foster teamwork, and share invaluable life lessons. Reaching the summit, with its breathtaking views, symbolised the power of perseverance and the strength found in supporting one another. A huge congratulations to all the Jackson and Mitch (program mentors) and the Year 10 boys who conquered the climb. They came, they saw, they conquered…….together!
Be rock, Be water!
An exciting opportunity arises for our Year 9 students next term as they embark on some intense sessions of the Rock and Water - self-development course. This engaging initiative will equip students with valuable tools for building resilience, managing emotions, and fostering positive relationships. Year 9 parents have been emailed an information letter and the first groups start Week 1.
Goodbye Term One, Hello holidays…
Term 1 has presented our community with its share of pastoral challenges, testing our resilience and compassion. We've faced these moments together, supporting one another through difficult times. We're immensely proud of the strength and unity shown by our students, staff, and families. The range of programs and opportunities for growth and development has been fantastic, and our energetic Pastoral Care team look forward to more opportunities next term to learn and share.
As we approach the Easter break, we encourage everyone to take time for rest, reflection, and renewal. I’d like to send warm wishes for a joyful and restorative holiday, filled with laughter and connection. We all look forward to a bright and positive Term two, energised and ready for new opportunities!
