Dear Parents

Our Year 6 students had a blast in Lancelin over the last two weeks on their Outdoor Education Surf Camp. Watching the boys contend with broken waves, small rips and long shore currents, it was easy to see why we run this camp and the depth of knowledge about water safety the boys get from the experience. There are some fabulous photographs up in the Gallery of boys on waves, boys falling off waves and jumping off the jetty. The common theme is they all have beaming smiles. My sincere thanks to the Outdoor Education team, in particular Ms Bacon, Mr Nelson and Mr Templar, who have spent the last two weeks away from home looking after our Year 6 surfers.

Our next few Assemblies are in Memorial Hall, as the Year 12s commence their final examinations in the Dickinson Centre over the next three weeks. I look forward to seeing you this Friday, following the return of our Year 8 boys from the next leg of their Bibbulmun Track adventure.
