🌏 Refugee Week 2026 | Celebrating courage, connection and belonging 💙

This Refugee Week, we recognise the strength, resilience and contributions of people from refugee backgrounds and celebrate the diverse stories that enrich our community.

Our school community is built on respect, inclusion and understanding — valuing the experiences, cultures and journeys that each person brings.

Together, we can continue to create a place where everyone feels welcomed, supported and they belong. 🤝

💙 Men’s Health Week 2026 | 15–21 June 💙

This Men’s Health Week, we’re encouraging all men and boys to make their health a priority.

The 2026 campaign theme, “101 Reasons to See Your GP”, is a reminder that looking after your health doesn’t mean waiting until something is seriously wrong. Whether it’s ongoing tiredness, changes in mood, stress, unexplained symptoms, or persistent pain — checking in with a GP is an important step.

Research shows that many Australian men wait too long before seeking medical advice when something doesn’t feel right. Let’s help change that by starting the conversation and making health checks part of everyday life.

Taking care of your physical and mental wellbeing is a sign of strength. 💪

🍇🧀 Year 9 VET Hospitality students creating something special! 👩‍🍳✨

From thoughtful presentation to delicious combinations, students explored the art of food styling while developing practical hospitality skills. A fantastic display of teamwork, creativity and attention to detail! 👏

Well done, Year 9 VET Hospitality — these boards look amazing! 🌟

A dream 13 years in the making.

Today, we are incredibly proud to announce that Ritam Malik has been selected to represent Australia at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

Since age 6, we've watched Ritam grow up in our gym. From a young boy with big dreams to an elite athlete wearing the green and gold, his journey has been built on dedication, resilience and countless hours of hard work.

Adding to this exciting achievement, Coach Vassili Trofimov will also join the Australian Men's Artistic Gymnastics Team at the national training camp in Glasgow, helping the athletes prepare for the Commonwealth Games.

Ritam shared:

"I am very excited to be heading to Glasgow soon. I really appreciate the opportunity and can't wait to get out there and give it my all."

Congratulations, Ritam! Thank you for inspiring the next generation of gymnasts and showing what can be achieved through years of dedication.

The entire SHG family will be cheering you on every step of the way. 💚💛
