Yesterday’s Stage 2 and 3 swimming carnival was a wonderful display of determination, personal bests, and enthusiastic house spirit. It was such a joy to share the excitement of the children coming together as One College in a celebration of our vibrant community. A huge thank you to all our staff, especially our PE teachers who made this event such a success!
As a community, we continue to live out Micah 6:8—acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God. May these values shape our daily actions.
