and cross - age relationships. A visit from our Year 7 students added an extra layer of excitement and connection across campuses.
During Week 3, Secondary students celebrated National Science Week with hands - on experiments, thanks to a $500 grant. Students were impressed by colourful Flame Tests, learning how light can reveal the makeup of stars, and explored wave - particle duality through Young ’ s Double Slit Experiment—key to understanding quantum physics. It was a week of discovery, wonder, and linking classroom learning to the cosmos! Pathways for the Future: Year 9 & 10 Excursion Year 9 and 10 students visited Peter Lalor Secondary College and the ONTECC campus to explore vocational learning pathways.

LEARNING COACHES AND VCE FOCUS
Students across Secondary have been reflecting on Semester 1 achievements and areas for growth. In Learning Coach sessions, they are using new study strategies and goal - setting techniques introduced in Term 2 to improve their academic outcomes. VCE students are also making full use of the private, quiet study carrels to maximise productivity in what is a shorter but crucial second semester. We commend them for their dedication as they work towards successful completion of their final assessments.
YEAR 7 REFLECTIONS ON THEIR FIRST 100 DAYS
Year 7 students also paused to reflect on their own 100 - day milestone in secondary school. Monica shared heartfelt thanks to families, staff, and classmates, saying,
“ Let ’ s keep working hard and supporting each other for the rest of the year. Together, we can do great things! ”
And Hunter, a student who ’ s been with us since Prep, captured the spirit of community:
“ I ’ ve grown up here—it ’ s like family. And I ’ ve learned from the best. ”
