Year 10 Update

The term has gone quickly, and we find ourselves at the midpoint already. Year 10 have been stepping out of our comfort zones and are striving to make the most of our last year on the junior campus. Many students have gone beyond their boundaries to be able to represent the year group. Prominent examples are seen in sport, with many students leading and encouraging younger students to participate in diving and dance. The school representative teams have also succeeded and improved their skills significantly. 

The school musical rehearsals also run during sports time, allowing the students to develop their musical skills, many of which are year ten music students wishing to perform and showcase their talents. 

Benjamin Afu provided an excellent performance of the Last Post at the ANZAC day ceremony. He performed at the ceremony and allowed the atmosphere to be sincere and respectful. This is one of the first years we have played live music for ANZAC Day, and it has been a great success and has allowed us to respect those who have sacrificed their lives for us.

During our well-being lessons, student leaders were challenged to write and present speeches to the Year 10 Cohort about various issues. The first speech was by Theresia Purwadi and Niamh Healy about how school isn't the ultimate target but only an iceberg tip. They also discussed how successful we must be and allowed the student's perspective to help us succeed. They were successful in speaking and talking not only to the students but also on their behalf. They captured the year group's attention and talked about stress and about how school is only a mountain to be climbed. "We all have to keep climbing; Life is a mountain."
