Adelaide Careers Expo
Families may wish to note the upcoming Adelaide Careers Expo, the largest event of its kind in South Australia, running from Thursday 7 May to Saturday 9 May at the Adelaide Showground.
While the School does not attend during the week due to logistical considerations, the Expo is open to the public on Saturday 9 May and provides a valuable opportunity for students and families to explore a wide range of tertiary pathways, careers and industry connections.

Cross Country Returns in Term 2
More than just a race, the Inter-House Cross Country is an opportunity for students to encourage one another, strengthen House spirit and take pride in contributing to their team’s success.

To support full participation, a timetable adjustment will apply for all students on both days of the event. Lessons 3 and 5 will be swapped to allow the Cross Country event to follow directly after Lunch– this will give everyone extra motivation to run fast!
