Sun Safety

Semester 1 (23 June 2023): Mrs Karen Storey – Acting Head of Junior School Miss Jess Marley – Acting Dean of School Mrs Kylee Smythe – Acting Head of Department – Mathematics & IT We wish Tina and her husband Noel all the best for their future Reunion Weekend Reunion returned on the first weekend of the Term, and was once again a huge success. The strength of the connection with our Past Student Association (PSA) is unique and something which should be celebrated and sustained. The PSA originally formed in 1925 and has the longest standing association with the School. With almost 40% of our current enrolments descendants of past students, the legacy continues, it is wonderful to see the next generation adding to our rich history. The weekend was full of stories shared between the past students as well as comparisons made between school as it was back then and school in the present. The annual past v present students Touch Football and Great Debate were back in full swing in conjunction with new additions of Netball and Cricket. The Past Students were victorious on all counts - though there have been some grumblings from the present students about the adjudication –especially in the Touch Football… The AGM was a historic moment in a changing of the guard from the older generation to more recent graduates. Congratulations to incoming President Bianca Mason and Vice President Ky Banset, I look forward to working with you in the coming years. On a personal level, I very much enjoyed reconnecting with the students I taught between 2014-17 and I look forward to future reunions with an increase in more recent graduates. I would also like to thank outgoing PSA President Dave Muguira for his partnership in ensuring the weekend was a huge success. Safer Internet On Monday 31 October we have Brett Lee, a former undercover internet detective coming to speak with the staff and students regarding safer internet practices. We have also arranged for Brett to deliver a similar message to our parents via zoom, please see the advertisement to find out how to connect. Brett has a wealth of experience, and it will be an information session not to be missed.
