Congratulations:
I was very impressed with the courage and determination shown by the players and was especially happy with their sportsmanship and the fact they kept cool under some intense provocation.
Cameron, Raif and Hans played the game of their lives and Kieran was a beast in defence.
Very proud coach Byrne

We are looking to hear from you at our weekly staff meetings every Monday after school.

INVITATION: IB Diploma Programme information evening for Grade 9 and 10 parents
We would like to invite Grade 9 and 10 parents to join us for an information session about the IB Diploma Programme, which students in Grade 10 will begin in September 2015 when they enter Grade 11. This information will be useful for all Grade 9 & 10 parents as the students start to think about their subject options in Grade 10 and 11. This format will provide the important opportunity for Grade 10 parents to ask questions and learn about the IB Diploma Programme and how it works. Grade 9 parents are encouraged to attend to begin the learning process of fully understanding the IBDP and how course choices affect work load, IB requirements and university options.
