Cross Country

Today we held our annual cross country, the weather wasn't on our side with it being a bit soggy under foot, but that just added to the fun! There was a great turn out with people from all years turning up to compete for their house groups! This was a great warm up for the tournament teams who are off to tournament week in a fortnight. Pictures and results to follow...

SNOB

The school’s annual senior ball (SNOB) was held on Friday night. A large number of parents, school supporters, staff and students worked together to make an excellent evening. I fortunately got to go along with 7 other Yr 10s as a Waiter for the night, the theme was 'Candy Land' and we got to see many fellow school mates all dressed up and looking amazing.Thank you for all your support. The evening was enjoyed by all.

Prince: Telford

Princess: Kobie Latta
