This week has been full of activity and celebration at the College. Junior School students in Kindergarten to Year 6 eagerly selected special gifts for their mothers at the Mother’s Day Stall on Tuesday, while this afternoon’s Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea brought together mothers and students for a memorable time of connection. Meanwhile, audiences have been captivated by our talented cast during four inspiring nights of Fiddler on the Roof. With the grand finale set for tonight, it promises to be the biggest performance yet, with limited door tickets available from 6:30pm on a first-come, first-served basis.
Looking ahead, selected Year 7 students will compete in the ACC Lightning Carnival on Monday, while families are invited to the free Anxiety Coaching Workshop with guest speaker Liz Tropiano from Behaviour Tonics on Tuesday 13 May at 7:00pm at the College. Wednesday will see our Emergency Cadets hitting the trails for a mountain biking excursion, followed by a busy Thursday with Year 10 students attending the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. Friday will be action-packed with the Senior School House Cross Country Carnival, a Year 3 Assembly, Swanonline students heading to Hoyts, and the STTC Mother’s Day celebration. Don’t forget to get your boots ready and register for our Community Bushdance next Saturday 17 May!
