Eben's Ju-Jitsu Success
Last Friday during morning lineups, we also took a moment to celebrate Eben for his outstanding behind-the-scenes success in Ju-Jitsu. 🥋 His tireless dedication and countless medals haven’t gone unnoticed, and we couldn’t be prouder! He even gave Mr. Minshull a quick lesson in stances so they were photo-ready! 💪📸
Year 7 Rugby

Year 8 Rock Investigation
Our budding year 8 Geographers have been rocking their investigation skills this week! 👩🔬👨🔬
They investigated rock permeability by testing how quickly water soaks into different rock samples. From chalk to slate, our students observed and recorded how permeable each rock was – all in the name of Geography!
Who knew dropping water on rocks could be so revealing?
