Events

School events bring learning to life and help shape our school culture. They help students build confidence, connect with others and celebrate their progress. Events also give families a chance to be involved in school life and share in their child’s achievements.

Our students enjoy excursions to Symbio Wildlife Park, Kamay botany Bay, Premiers debating, PSSA interschool sporting teams, Dancesport competitions, inter-school chess tournaments, Year 5 and Year 6 camps later in the year.

Please look at the calendar below to find out more about exciting events are planned for this year.
