Duncraig Secondary Snapshot

This year North Beach Baptist Church are having our annual Free Fun Fair & Community Carols Event at North Beach Primary School Oval on the 19th December from 5pm.

Following success with the implementation of the filtration system designed to remove the iron bacteria in the water, we experienced a very unexpected failure with the steel casing within which our bore pump is housed. After 35 years, the casing effectively collapsed (rusted through) necessitating the drilling of another bore hole. This has resulted in a period of a lack of irrigation and our grass turning brown.

As of last Thursday, the new bore hole was operational meaning water is now coming out of our sprinklers. We expect the grass to return to its previous lush condition in the next few weeks.

2021 Educator Wall of Fame

Congratulations to Year 10 Tahlia Papworth for her silver medal win in the All Schools Athletics Championships U18 2000m Steeplechase at the WA Athletics Stadium. Year 8 Isabella Heathcote also ran an impressive race but just missed a podium finish in the 1500m – with 0.4 seconds between third and fourth.

It’s National Recycling Week – a great reason to check in on your recycling habits! Did you know there are Containers for Change drop off points at both of our campuses? Funds raised go toward Good Sammies and keeping people with disabilities in employment, and RAW Impact. Parents are welcome to drop donations into the specially marked bins at the bike rack area and ELC, or Carramar’s Primary Reception and Secondary Administration to support these organisations.

Master Mind Australia is delivering a comprehensive January Preparation Program for all students entering years 7 to 12 in 2022.

The programs will be held at Christ Church Grammar School and Hale School.
