Week 6 Highlights

Really big week yet being only the four school days! We started our week launching our UNSW Foundation Course on Tuesday. It was great to see some members of our community, board members, parents, colleagues and students as well attend. Also we had a keynote speaker, Mr Oki Earlivan Sampurno - Special Adviser to the Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology for Industry and International Cooperation. As mentioned, this is a new and cutting edge programme of study that has multiple benefits for our current and future students. Very exciting times ahead for our High Schoolers.

We then moved focus to the High School Activities Week including our Taipans Cup. The Activities Week was our replacement for our Experiential Camps, with day excursions and CAS overnights completed, it was a chance for some different learning experiences.

The Taipans Cup, a High School legacy event for us, it was great to see the comradery, competitiveness in all that participated. Well done to Ms Jill and our CAS student organisers, particularly Zelda. Outstanding event. Great job!

Don’t forget our Book Weeks starting up next week
