Term 3 never disappoints. It has been an incredibly exciting and active term, and it has been a pleasure to see our students at their best and …in pursuit of individual excellence.

As we enter the final round of TAS and Junior TAS fixtures before the TAS Term 3 Finals, I would like to thank and congratulate teams and their coaches, coordinators and supporters. All the best for the final fixtures against CHAC. For of our Year 12 students, Term 3 TAS finals marks the end of an era in team sports. Thank you for all that you have contributed to the our sporting program.

Congratulations to our Opti-MINDS teams that represented the College in the 2025 regional competition. A huge thank you for preparing these as they developed and finalised their submissions.
