Exam week for all students will commence November 18th and run until November 25th. It is very important that all students attend school this week and that no appointments are scheduled between 18th and 25th November.

We celebrated ‘Science Week’ this week. Numerous in-class activities were organised for our science students. Our first year students participated in a spaghetti tower challenge in their classes and the best towers were judged by the Science Captains. Science quizzes were organised for second and third year classes and senior students completed an egg drop challenge using parachutes which they had designed. Winners from every class won prizes for their achievements! The Science Captains also used this week to raise awareness of women in stem – past and present. Many thanks to the Science captains who did a fantastic job of promoting the wonders of Science.
