Careers Expo

Our Year 9 students recently attended the Bathurst Careers Expo , where they had the opportunity to explore a wide range of career options and pathways . They spoke with professionals from a variety of industries, learning about different jobs, training opportunities , and future study options. It was a valuable experience that gave many students new ideas and a better understanding of the opportunities available to them after school.

Education Week 2026

On Monday. August 3, we held a special school assembly to celebrate Education Week. The theme for Education Week 2026 is, "Inspiring Excellence". Our assembly acknowledged two students from each class for their commitment to learning and citizenship. We also acknowledged outstanding citizenship across each stage. Sharon Flinders was acknowledged for her contribution to our school in a volunteer capacity. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the performances from the K-2 and 3-6 choir. Our students enjoyed having families visit their classrooms and join them for morning tea. Congratulations to all our hard-working students.
