Events

School events bring learning to life and help shape our school culture. They help students build confidence, connect with others and celebrate their progress. Events also give families a chance to be involved in school life and share in their child’s achievements.

Our school events include:

  • school orientation days
  • sports carnivals
  • open day and school tours
  • Harmony Week and International Women's Day events
  • excursions and incursions
  • performances, concerts or school productions
  • fundraising, charity and community events
  • award assemblies
  • graduation and other celebrations.
