Year 8 News
Accountability
Year 8 students have immersed themselves in their theme: "T.E.A.M - Together everyone achieves more." With a dedicated emphasis on developing a routine, maintaining high standards, and embracing consistency, the cohort has successfully embarked on a collective journey to continue their personal and academic aspirations. In the last few weeks, the Pastoral Care program has included various activities centred on team building, quality relationships and identifying ways to be more accountable.

Maddox Mascari - Cycling Success at Nationals
Earlier this month, Maddox Mascari was selected to represent NSW in the Men's Under 15 Cycling Team. Maddox made his coaches and teammates proud as he represented NSW at the AusCycling Junior National Championships from 13-17 March 2024 at the Anna Meares Velodrome in Brisbane. It was five competitive days of racing, two days of training and a great experience of team bonding, commitment and responsibility.
Maddox raced strong and fast in all six events, improving his state individual pursuit time by four seconds. He blew the crowd away as he finished second in the qualifying scratch race and then finished sixth in the scratch race finals.
Congratulations on your exceptional achievements, Maddox!
