Celebrating our students at the Australian Museum
We recognised Saira's progress in Kindergarten, Peter's positivity in his final year of primary school, Ella's exceptional HSC results, and Hanna's successful move from Year 12 into a Bachelor of Exercise Science. Kalinda and Artie were celebrated for their commitment to their communities.
Afterwards, families explored the museum, including the Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs exhibition.
