Celebrating Book Week, NAIDOC Week and Interhouse Cross Country

This term has been filled with energy and community spirit as our students embraced a series of special events across the School.

Traditionally celebrated in the Junior School, Book Week saw a new chapter this year as our Year 12 Prefects took the initiative to join in the fun. Their enthusiasm has set the foundation for Book Week to expand into the Senior School in future years. We congratulate the Prefects on their leadership and creativity in building connections across the School community.

NAIDOC Week was another highlight, offering a wonderful celebration of culture, identity, and storytelling. The week featured a wide range of activities and performances, both within the day school and Boarding, and showcased the talents of many students. The NAIDOC Assembly was a standout, with moving performances that celebrated heritage and history. The celebrations concluded spectacularly with the whole-school Colour Run, bringing together Junior, Middle, and Senior School students in a vibrant display of unity and fun.

Our students also displayed resilience and determination during the Interhouse Cross Country. This year, the event was held off-site, with students choosing to run rather than being required to participate. The strong turnout reflected the spirit of challenge and commitment to personal achievement. Congratulations on first place in:

• Year 10 – 2.5km: Jonah and Jessica

• Year 10 – 5km: Michael Harrison

• Year 11 – 2.5km: Milani and Stuart

• Year 11 – 5km: Madi and Sonny

• Year 12 – 2.5km: Riley and Josh

• Year 12 – 5km: Alex and Amelia

Each student showed outstanding determination and commitment, contributing to the overall success of the event.
