Our morning staff devotions provide our team with an intentional space to worship and align our hearts before the school day unfolds.

Teaching and leading our students to the best of our abilities begins with seeking God’s guidance first! We know that everything we pour into the classroom, from academic excellence to daily encouragement, flows from the foundation we build as a team. 🤍

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together!" Psalm 133:1

YEAR 12 HSC DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE

Continuing our celebration of our Year 12 HSC Showcases, today we are sharing some of the Design & Technology Major Design Projects presented by our senior students.

These projects represent many months of planning, designing, problem solving, creating and refining as students worked to take their ideas from concept through to a finished project.

The showcase was a wonderful opportunity to recognise not only the finished projects, but also the commitment, skill and perseverance demonstrated throughout the process.
