Given the increasing roll size of the school, we would ask that parents/caregivers use the bus bay or front carpark when dropping-off or picking-up their child. Please avoid driving into the College grounds and refrain from parking on the yellow lines down Botanical Road.
Congratulations to former students Jakaia Williams and Helen Liu who were awarded Central Energy Trust Bursaries for 2018. Both students were presented with their awards at the ceremony held on 20 February 2018. Recipients for Central Energy Trust bursaries are selected based on a combination of factors including academic record, participation in cultural, sport or community activities, and future leadership potential. Receiving a Central Energy Trust bursary is an incredible achievement and only comes as a result of a significant amount of work, both at school and in the community. We are extremely proud of Jakaia and Helen and wish them well in their future endeavours.
