Chapel services led by students, staff and the college pastors take place regularly each week. Parents and friends are always welcome to attend these services. Devotional activities occur within class and pastoral care group time, which further support faith and personal development, helping students conduct their lives and use their God-given talents so as to make a positive impact on those around them.

This was the setting at the Prep to Year 3 Fun Run last week. We were blessed with fantastic weather, the event taking place in the best conditions. All our students proudly competed for their houses, taking off at great speed at the start of the race (with some even managing to continue this speed for most of the race), and trying their best to keep running for the entire 300m or 600m. Every student ran with vigor and determination, and also encouraged one another along the way. We were thrilled with the wonderful turnout of supporters we had on the...

Have you been aware of the recent television series, “13 Reasons Why” or the online game/App, “Blue Whale”, drawing media attention globally and locally.

Consequently, they are appropriate for home use if they are helpful for children...

There are so many, the first day of Prep, graduating Year 5, Year 12 Chapel and Graduating Ceremony, to name just a few.

Within Australia, the restaurant industry alone is worth $12 billion a year, but hospitality jobs are definitely not restricted to just this industry. Hotels, cruise ships and conference centres all need staff and positions run from entry level, all the way up to management.

And, as the tourism, restaurant and leisure industries grow, more positions will be created, ensuring great job choice and stability. Each year a team of 2 to 4 Hospitality students from...
