The School
The school serves pre-school to 12th grade classes.
The School allows for many different paths to be taken. Whether it be academic, sporting, leadership or the performing arts (PA). Leadership positions extend over a range of fields; from Leo (Lions Youth), Community Service Captains, House Captains, Student Council and College/Vice Captains.
Sports wise, the school encourages students to become active by holding three sporting carnivals, annually. These are: Swimming, Athletics and Cross-Country. The Four school houses, Gowandi (green), Jubi (red), Binging (yellow) and Wardjam (blue) compete for house points to win the House Cup at the end of the year.

First and foremost, the school formal (which is directed by a student-based formal committee), the Valedictory Dinner (a good-bye dinner for students, parents and teachers), Presentation Night (a night for awards, recognition and Performing Arts entertainment) and the Final Chapel (which is led completely by the year twelve students with a Christian theme).
The school also hosts a Fete on every odd based year and a School Musical on every even based year (2012 musical "The Wiz")

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
