Our recent Walk to School event was a wonderful way to start the festive season! Students added a splash of Christmas cheer to their uniforms with festive accessories, creating a colourful and joyful atmosphere.

We were thrilled to see 72 student walkers take part, along with many parents and staff members who joined in the fun. The morning was filled with laughter, singing, bright colours, and community spirit. It was a perfect way to celebrate the season together.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event such a success!

In the final weeks of Term, our four Year 7 French classes have visited Manubread in Invermay as a part of the SOC2City program.

As part of the unit on French cuisine, students enjoyed the ambience of a traditional café but also took part in a croissant-making workshop. It was a fun day discovering the delicate art on how to make the perfect croissant and then tasting the beautiful pastries. Some students also purchased bread or beautiful cakes, and enjoyed the sun on the terrasse in pure French style.

Thank you to Manubread for hosting […]

During Term 3 and 4, our Boarding House students took on a meaningful project of collecting bottles and cans to redeem the 10 cent refund at the local collection centre. This simple act became a powerful way to give back to the community.

Thanks to their efforts, and some donations, the students raised enough funds to make a real difference. Last Friday, they headed to Kmart with a mission to purchase items for the Salvos Red Bag of Hope Drive. With around $250.00, they filled their baskets with toys, stationery, and cosmetics, all […]

Congratulations to TCE students Georgina Wilson, Claudia Beaumont, Ava Boyle and Jack Duncan for having work selected for ArtRage 2025.

As the final lesson in their financial literacy elective, Mrs Russell’s Year 9 Enterprise class took their learning beyond the Penquite Campus and into the Junior School. Their mission? To share practical money skills with Year 4 Jones students in a way that was fun, interactive, and easy to understand.

The older students introduced concepts like compound interest, budgeting, and saving tips, but they didn’t stop at explanations. Many designed colourful presentations and creative games to make the session engaging for younger learners. The Year 4 students were enthusiastic participants, asking questions and enjoying […]
