We celebrated the Senior Sports Awards, recognising the achievements of our athletes. The Senior School Leadership Handover Assembly was a significant occasion, where we applauded the contributions of our Class of 2024 leaders and welcomed the incoming leaders from the Class of 2025. We had the privilege of hosting the Dusty Feet Mob, an Aboriginal dance group from Port Augusta. Students also enjoyed Languages Week, participating in a variety of cultural activities.
