It’s hard to believe we are already half way through Term 3!

We are inching ever closer to drafting and assessment checkpoints and due dates. It is important that students are in class and if away due to illness, work with their teacher to catch up on missed lessons.

On Thursday 3^rd August, our Senior Readers Cup team competed in the Brisbane West Years 9/10 Regional Competition. Our team represented our college brilliantly, demonstrating perseverance when one of their team mates was unable to attend. Even with a team mate down, our students placed 10^th overall!! Congratulations, ladies! You’ve done us proud, and we look forward to supporting you in your final opportunity to take part in the competition next year!

Last week, students across our College also took part in the Education Perfect English Championships. This is a global competition against 1917 schools. Our students achieved some excellent results securing 6^th place overall in the global standings, 3^rd place overall in Australia, and an OUTSTANDING 1^st place overall in the state. These results are amazing given that our students compete against schools much larger than ours across both state and private settings. Individually, 7 of our students placed in the top 1.5% of competitors from around the world! We look forward to celebrating these individual achievements in upcoming assemblies.
