Secondary School Update (27 October 2023)

Weekly update from Head of Secondary

Dear Secondary School Community,

Next week, from Tuesday to Friday, our year-level residential trips occur for Years 7 to 12, embarking on exciting and enriching expeditions through Vietnam.

These trips align closely with our core aims of fostering challenge, bonding, self-discovery, and community service. Students will be exposed to a range of carefully curated activities designed to push their boundaries and promote personal growth.

Through shared experiences, students will forge lasting connections and develop a sense of unity.
