Today, our Year 7 students took part in an eye-opening session on the importance of road safety and how every split second matters when it comes to making safe choices on the road. The session was a great reminder that whether you're walking, biking, or in a vehicle, staying alert can save lives. A huge thank you to everyone involved for making this such a meaningful experience!

On Sunday 16th March, 9 of our Year 9 and 10 Dance students attended a performance experience at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. The students worked with 3rd year students to learn a really complex piece of repertoire and then performed a piece they had been developing over 6 weeks, based on human connection, to a packed-out audience at the Riley Theatre. The performance was absolutely incredible and the students got to experience what dance can look like after secondary school. A huge thank you to NSCD for this wonderful experience and a huge well done to the amazing dancers!
