Year 7 Crosslands Camp

The weather forecast was for 100% chance of showers, but that did not deter 72 Year 7 students, 13 Year 11 Peer Support leaders and 9 staff heading to Crosslands. The 6km hike (thankfully mostly downhill) challenged some, was a new experience for others, while others were keen to jog...

Year 12 Crosslands Camp

Our trip to the Crosslands reserve for our Year 12 Retreat proved taxing for all of the grade cohort, in the best way possible.

Secondary Swimming Carnival

What a great day we had for our Swimming Carnival! The day dawned a bit overcast and drizzly, but ended with brilliance. The teachers won the relay against the seniors.

Dance Moves

It was I994, the Channel Tunnel had been opened, Forrest Gump was on at the cinemas, and I was standing in front of 100 plus people ready to bust-out my dance moves. It was not quite “run Forrest, run!”, but rather “dance Stuart, dance!” Many options presented themselves in the...

Go High

It’s easy to respect people that we admire, that we see as worthy of respect. Respect, after all, is earned. But what if respect was simply our default position? What if we showed respect to others, not because of their behaviour, their skills or their personality, but simply because they...

Strength Through Diversity

My 13-year old daughter was about to embark on writing an essay showing empathy and giving a voice to an untold story. We sat together, brainstormed and contemplated where she would begin and whose story she would share. In the end she wanted to learn more about her great grandfather...

Belonging to a Family

When my youngest son was a pre-schooler he felt a bit left out. His brothers belonged to sports teams, went out with friends and got to go to school but he was stuck at home with his parents. To help him feel special I began a tradition of taking him...

You Belong Here

All humans are wired with the desire to belong. We were created for community and we seek to connect with others.  Belonging is sometimes thought to be the same as fitting in; that is, we belong if we share characteristics or have things in common. But if we seek to belong...
