The Importance of Respect

Respect is a cornerstone of our community, fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and heard. It is essential that we show respect for one another, as it builds trust, strengthens relationships, and creates a positive atmosphere. This is especially true when it comes to our teachers, who dedicate their time and energy to guide and support us. Their commitment deserves our utmost support and gratitude.

Congratulations to CASA Swimming Carnival Participants

We would like to extend our congratulations to all the students who competed in the CASA Swimming Carnival. An engaging night of competition at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre took place last week. Many students produced excellent results and personal bests. Well done to the inter-girls relay team for their success and for being willing to be interviewed on the Hot Seat at the secondary assembly. A special thank you goes out to the teachers who organized and helped run the event. Your dedication, often using your personal time to assist, does not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated.

Cranmer House Charity Day

Cranmer House Charity Day was a huge success! The sausage sizzle, tokens for games, and the enthusiastic participation from students across P-12 made the day memorable. It was wonderful to see students from Year 7 through to Year 12 leading and serving the wider PAC community. Thanks to David Andison and his team for all the hard work that went into making the day happen. Their efforts enabled a significant amount of money to be raised for Congo Aid. This money will allow an orphanage in the Congo to purchase furniture, helping the orphans spend less time on the ground and therefore reducing the risk of disease and illness. Thanks to everyone involved in making the day such a success.

Save the Date: Multicultural Day

We are excited to announce the inaugural Multicultural Day to celebrate Harmony Week on Thursday, 20 March. This event will be a fantastic opportunity to embrace and celebrate the diverse cultures within our community. Please save the date and join us for a day of fun and learning.

Thank you for being a part of our vibrant community. Let's continue to show respect and support for one another.

Another new event for the Secondary College is Cinema Under the Stars. This event will be run by the Parents and Friends Association and provides a fundraising opportunity for reinvestment into the college and a fantastic evening with friends for the students. More details will be coming out over the next few weeks; however, for the moment, please set aside 10 April from 6-9 pm for the event.

Reminder

The car park is a space that is used by a range of students, parents, staff, and others to enter and exit the College. With the number of people and amount of movement, it is important that parents drive in a way that supports students' safe movements. This is particularly important as secondary students move across the car park for pickup in the afternoon. If families need to park and wait for students, please use the car parks available, leaving the drop-off zone available for families and students to move efficiently through the area. Parking in the pick-up zone causes congestion for the car park as a whole.
