Andy commenced on the College Finance Committee in 2006 where he has remained a member until now, bringing considerable financial management, planning and audit skills to the Committee.

He joined the College Board in 2011 and went on to assume the role of […]

In Chapel this week, all of the Middle School gathered as one in the HPEC and started off our Term of exploring what ‘love’ means within the five religious traditions of Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism.   The students then had an opportunity to discuss with each other what love means for them.

In our next Chapel for the Middle School, we will be exploring what we love about ourselves through the eyes of our Identity Values.   This helps our own self-esteem and the second of the great Commandments:  Love your neighbour as yourself.  Often, we hear and learn about loving […]

Sports Mindset

Congratulations to all our teams in their sporting endeavours over the past week.

Whether we won or lost, I wonder what we have learnt about our own character, the character and culture of our teamwork, how we speak and how we dress.

How we dress?  Yes, how we dress.  One of the most formative character mindsets in the All Blacks Team is their mindset that they are never too important to do the little things that need to be done. For example, what are we doing or what are we thinking about when we put on our sports uniform?

On Wednesday night it […]

NAPLAN ONLINE 2022

the National Assessment Program-Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) was first undertaken as an online test in Tasmania during 2019. Tasmanian schools will again participate in NAPLAN Online this year.

NAPLAN assessments include four components: Writing, Numeracy, Conventions of Language and Reading.

The College will receive reports and results for participants […]

Welcome to Term 2 of our Chaplaincy Program.  Some exciting new events are happening this Term which will offer our students, staff and families a more holistic spiritual care and development focus.

On the Penquite Campus last term, each of our ChapelConnects focussed on Family; what family means and how the term family doesn’t always mean bloodline.

We finished the Term with an Easter Service which we were very grateful for.  Students from each year level gave of their talents and contributed to a well thought out and presented engagement with what Easter means for them, whether religious or not.

This year’s exciting […]

Term 2, Week 1 Activities

What a pleasure to have families attending College events again!

A wonderful start to the term welcoming Junior School parents and guardians for a quick catch up and coffee on Tuesday morning, followed by an equally lovely gathering on Wednesday for the first day on the Penquite Campus. Middle and Senior school parents joined our Year Level Parent Reps – a excellent opportunity for new families to meet and others to reconnect. 

And to finish off the week, thanks to all who attended […]
