Here are our brilliant Year 7 students showing off their excellent dissection skills.
After learning the names and functions of the different parts of flowering plants, they put their knowledge into action by carefully dissecting and labelling each part.
A great hands on way to deepen their understanding of plant biology 🌼🔬✨

Miss Higgins’ Year 8 classes have been getting creative as they explored the art of resist dyeing through Batik. Students learned how hot wax acts as a barrier between fabric and dye, allowing them to create beautiful patterns and shapes with real precision.
Using the traditional Tjanting tool, they designed their own wax patterns on white fabric before letting everything cool and move on to the dyeing stage. Once dried, Miss Higgins carefully melted away the wax with an iron and paper, revealing the stunning designs hidden beneath.
The next step will be to use these newly learned skills to create a final piece inspired by the wonderful work of Yayoi Kusama. We cannot wait to see what they produce 🎨✨👏

🌪️Soda can surprise!🌪️
Our STEAM Club have been busy investigating a fizzy mystery. If all cans of fizzy drink are 330ml, why do they have different masses? Why do some float and others sink? And what makes them so different from Group 1 Alkali Metals and Group 2 Alkaline Earth Metals in the periodic table?
With their natural curiosity leading the way, students explored reactions, calculated density, evaluated ingredients and had plenty of fun solving the challenge.
Next week brings even more fabulous Physics as we investigate Bernoulli’s principle and take on tornados (mini ones)! 🌪️✨🔬

This Mother’s Day, we want to take a moment to recognise all the love, care and support that surrounds our children in so many different ways.
Today is a celebration of mums, step‑mums, grandmas, carers, aunties and all the special people who nurture, encourage and champion our children every day. We also hold space for those for whom today may feel difficult, including anyone missing a mum, those who wish to be mums, or families who mark today in their own quiet way.
To every family in our school community, thank you for the kindness, patience and love you give 🌷

This International Women’s Day, we were proud to hear from Niki McGarvey, MATi and Outreach Specialist Advisor, as she shared her reflections on this year’s theme of giving to gain.
When we give opportunity, encouragement and respect, we gain stronger communities, fairer workplaces and brighter futures. Every time we listen, support and open doors for women and girls, progress follows. Equality is not something we lose by sharing, it is something we all gain.
Today, and every day, we choose action, kindness and collaboration, because when women thrive, everyone thrives.
