- Mark your calendars for two student free days (dedicated to staff professional development on the South Australian Curriculum) on December 11/12; also, Friday September 5 will be a school closure day (day of local significance)
- Our staffing profile is looking great for 2026!
- New couches have arrived in the study space and are a hit!
- University presentations are happening, along with sessions on SATAC application processes
