Last week on Wednesday, some of our Year 9 and 10 students spent the day at the 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨 at 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐓𝐀𝐅𝐄, exploring pathways in industries like construction, engineering and mining.

They took part in hands‑on activities, toured the campus and had the chance to speak directly with employers and training providers — gaining real insight into what a future in trades could look like.

An inspiring day that opened doors, built confidence and outlined the incredible opportunities available to young women in non‑traditional industries. 💪🔧

Last week we hosted our 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒔 — an intimate night celebrating a talented group of student soloist performers, and the friends and family who came to cheer them on.

It was a beautiful showcase of music, with every performer demonstrating not just skill and hard work, but real artistry and courage on stage. A truly special night for our school community. 👏💫

A group of our Year 9 girls spent the day at 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨 𝐓𝐀𝐅𝐄 in Balga, getting hands‑on experience in the electrical industry — and they absolutely powered through it!

In this Career Taster, they learnt what it’s really like to work as an electrician, completing wiring tasks, assembling light boards and testing their work just like real apprentices. The program gave students a chance to build confidence, try new skills and explore pathways they may not have considered before.

A fantastic experience that lit up their curiosity and showed just how bright their futures can be in non‑traditional trades. ⚡🔧

Yesterday a select group of Year 8 Media students went on an excursion that gave them the chance to step inside the Channel 9 News Studios and experience how real news is created, produced and broadcast.

They explored the studio floor, witnessed the technology in action, and even met people who bring the news to life every day. It was an exciting, hands‑on way to connect classroom learning with the real media industry. Our students were featured at the end of the segment as part of their tour too!

A fantastic opportunity to spark curiosity, build confidence and inspire future storytellers. 🌟
