Health and Physical Education
Our HPE students have begun their work in the assessment phase of this term.
A reminder that all assessment information can be found within Daymap and it is important that students, staff and parents/caregivers stay on top of assessment expectations (producing quality drafts), reminding them of due dates and where/how to upload assessment. See image below:
If your student cannot submit their assessment or cannot be present during a set exam lesson, your child will need to apply for an extension (link listed below). This will then be directed to your student's Head of Year who will make contact with the student and parent/caregiver to advise of the outcome.
At the end of this Term, Year 7 and Year 8 students currently studying HPE will transition into Humanities for Semester 2. Current students who are studying Humanities will transition into HPE until the end of year.

Interhouse Athletics:
A reminder of the upcoming Interhouse Athletics Carnival that will occur on Thursday 15th June (nomination only) and Friday 16th June (full-school event).
Here is some information provided from our Sports Coordinator - Mr Clifford.
We are coming into my personal favourite event of the year, the College’s Athletics Carnival. This is an exciting year for our athletics scene as we have made some key changes to the carnival:
- The first big change is that the pre-events have been condensed into a single day carnival on Thursday 15th June. In the past, these have run at lunch times in the two weeks leading up to the Carnival and many students have missed events because of this. This year, the following events will run during class time on the Thursday: 400m, 800m, 1500m, Javelin & Discus. Students must nominate for these events in order to participate!
- We are finally introducing High Jump as an event at our carnival. It is one of the most exciting events in a carnival and we can’t wait for our mat to arrive in the next fortnight
- For the first time, we have compiled all of our data from our 2020, 2021 & 2022 athletics booklets and created our first ever records book! I have attached a copy below. This year students aren’t just participating for Age Champion, Sports Awards and House points but also to have their name forever written in our history books.
The carnival is being held in Week 9 on Thursday 15th June & Friday 16th June. Parents are welcome to come and watch but please sign in at the office. It is not compulsory for students to nominate for events for the Friday carnival, however encouraged. For the Thursday carnival it is compulsory for student to have nominated in order to participate. Students who do not nominate will be sent back to class on the Thursday. To nominate for the events please complete the following form:
