Stories and highlights

Throughout the school year, our students take part in a rich variety of academic, cultural, sporting, and creative experiences. There’s always something to celebrate at our school, from exciting events and proud achievements to the everyday moments that bring us together. Here are just a few of the highlights that showcase the spirit and success of our school community.

A year at our school

Solar powered car challenge

Our students recently participated in an exciting STEM challenge by designing and building their own solar-powered cars. Through hands-on experimentation, they learned about renewable energy, engineering and teamwork as they raced their creations using the power of the sun.

Springboard

During Term 4, Stage 3 students participated in the Springboard program, teaming up with Lake Illawarra High School students for a series of games designed to build resilience, teamwork and sportsmanship. The program strengthened connections and encouraged valuable learning beyond the classroom.

Southern Stars

In 2025, our students proudly took part in the Southern Stars dance and mass choir, showcasing their talent and dedication on a large stage alongside schools from across the region. The experience fostered self-expression, confidence and teamwork while celebrating creativity and community.

NAIDOC Week

Each year, our students take part in NAIDOC Week celebrations, including the Shellharbour City Reconciliation Flag Walk. These experiences promote understanding and respect, honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and strengthen our sense of community and connection.

Grandparents Day

Each year, our students celebrate Grandparents Day, taking the opportunity to recognise and thank the special grandparents and grand friends in our school community. Through shared activities, stories and time together, we honour their love, wisdom and guidance, and celebrate the important role they play in connecting generations and strengthening our sense of family and community

My children have had so many enriching experiences beyond the classroom that have sparked their interests and broadened their learning.
