Welcome Back Year 9 Students – What an Adventure!

What a week your Year 9 students had at Lima East, near the picturesque Lake Nillahcootie! Last week’s camp was an incredible opportunity for them to challenge themselves, grow, and create lifelong memories.

From the very first day, the camp was action-packed with activities designed to stretch both their physical and mental boundaries. Whether it was abseiling down rock faces, navigating rugged trails on mountain bikes, paddling canoes across the tranquil waters of Lake Nillahcootie, or tackling demanding hikes through stunning landscapes, each activity gave students the chance to step out of their comfort zones and rise to the challenge.

The camp wasn’t just about adventure—it was about fostering resilience, teamwork, and independence. Every student in attendance faced moments that tested their determination, whether it was scaling a tough climb, mastering a new skill, or pushing through fatigue on a challenging hike. The pride on their faces when they completed these tasks spoke volumes.

Evenings at camp provided a chance to wind down, reflect, and share stories about the day’s adventures. The group bonded over meals prepared together, enjoying the simplicity of life outdoors and the satisfaction that comes with achieving shared goals.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to the Staff for giving up their time, toilets and own bed as well as the Auscamp guides and program managers who all made this experience so valuable. Their expertise, encouragement, and enthusiasm created a safe and supportive environment where students could push their limits and discover new strengths.

Your children returned not only with incredible stories but also with new skills, heightened confidence, and a sense of pride in their achievements. Whether they conquered a fear, supported a peer, or simply embraced the adventure, this camp has left a lasting impact on them.

Thank you for supporting this opportunity for your children to grow and thrive. We’re excited to see how they’ll carry the lessons learned and the confidence gained into the rest of the school year—and beyond!

Our 2025 School and House Captains Visit the Senior Learning Building Site

Recently, our 2025 School and House Captains had the exciting privilege of touring the building site for the new Senior Learning Building. This special experience gave them a glimpse of the future learning spaces that will soon be at the heart of our senior students’ education.

The captains were buzzing with excitement as they explored the impressive structure and learned about its innovative design features. One of the highlights of the tour was discovering the stunning views from the classrooms, which are sure to inspire students as they focus on their studies and prepare for their futures.

The Senior Learning Building is set to become a hub of academic excellence and collaboration, with spaces purposefully designed to meet the needs of senior students. The building will include modern, flexible learning areas, state-of-the-art technology, and plenty of natural light to create an inviting and productive environment.

With construction progressing well, the project is on track to be completed in time for Term 2, 2025. We are incredibly proud to see such significant investment in the future of our students and cannot wait for this new chapter to begin.

The captains left the site feeling inspired and optimistic about what lies ahead for our school community. This visit marked an exciting milestone, and we look forward to sharing more updates as we move closer to opening this incredible facility.

Stay tuned for further progress and get ready to see our Senior Learning Building come to life!
