On March 6th, our Year 12’s headed up to Perth and
spent the weekend with Mitchell Bell. They had
great time catching up, going out for a steak lunch, ice
skating, as well as hanging out at Mitchell’s place.
Sunday morning saw them take in the sights and
sounds of the bustling Fremantle Markets, before it
was back on the bus for the ride home.
Scavenger Hunt
Pictured right are the Scavenger Hunt Teams >
A Scavenger Hunt was held on Sunday March 15th. Students formed teams and headed off into town with a
time limit to find as many items and take as many photos on their Hunting List as they could. In the end there
were only a few points separating the teams and the
lucky winners were Yvette Della Vedova, Tia Davidson
and Krystal Stephenson. Well done!
Rainbow Social

On Friday March 19th we packed the Year 11’s off to

Saturday March 28th students ran their own social. Bright colours and thumping beats were the
order of the day. Well done to Travis, Karma,
