Exeat Weekend

From the Principal

As of this afternoon, our Year 12 students have reached the halfway mark of their exam period. I am sure that each student has entered the exam rooms with a mixture of anticipation and quiet confidence, due to the significant preparation and effort they have put in.

Early Learning

This week we started our formal transitions into the next year level, which included a Parent Information Evening for our new ELC families and all 2023 Reception parents.

Junior School

With Term 4 well underway, we have had an action-packed fortnight in the Junior School. Last Friday, our Years 3 – 6 girls commenced their day at the Adelaide Aquatic Centre for their annual Junior School Swimming Carnival.

Middle School

"Throughout the REALISE program, we have learned how to be capable, independent young women and gain experience into living with others."

Senior School

This week, the Year 12s have begun their final SACE external examinations. The girls have approached these exams in a positive manner and it was pleasing to see many of them at school last week sitting practice exams with their teachers during SWOT VAC.

Boarding

As girls have returned from the exeat and with less than 25 school days remaining in the year, I have reminded them of Muhammad Ali's quote: "Don’t count the days, make the days count.”

Sport

Friday 4 September saw our Year 3-6 students head to the Adelaide Aquatic Centre for the annual Wilderness Junior School Swimming Carnival.

Creative Industries

Early this term, our band girls auditioned for the 2023 Big Bands, and we were most impressed with their efforts in submitting their auditions in an online format for the first time.
