Year 10

The first full year out of lockdown since Year 7 has not only marked our official transition to the senior years, but moreover has seen girls assuming leadership within co-curricular activities. From being part of DAV Debating playoffs, participating in the GSV Hockey Grand Final, rowing at the Head of Schoolgirls Regatta, performing in Urinetown, leading the Year 10 Quartet, attending the International Women’s Day Breakfast at Parliament House, or writing for The Stentorian student-led newspaper, as a Cohort, Year 10 has truly been able to seize the opportunities we have been afforded and make the most out of our learning outside the classroom.

I can vividly recall the excitement amongst the Year 10s as we met for our final Year level session before we headed off on our long-awaited adventure to Far North Queensland in May this year. Term 2 was honestly such a packed schedule that some of us needed some time to rest and connect as a Year level. Therefore, our Wellbeing Camp in Cairns could not have been placed anywhere better. The various activities undertaken on the Camp, including snorkelling, hiking, cooking, and engaging in community service, or perhaps taking amusement of our friends tripping during rollerblading have brought our Cohort closer than ever! This camp has a significant place within our hearts, especially after a prolonged period of isolation in COVID.
