SILVER AT CHAMPS

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.

NATIONAL RECYCLING WEEK

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.

POETIC ACHIEVEMENTS

Year 8 Victoria Hill has placed second in the City of Nedlands Roland Leach Poetry Awards lower secondary category. Victoria’s entry was one of 540 from across the state. Carramar Year 12 Riana Shah’s poetic creativity has also been recognised and will be published in the next edition of The Australian Mathematics Education Journal. Riana’s poem emulated a TS Eliot poem, using mathematical discourse to discuss existential ideas. Read their poems at https://loom.ly/pu3c0DY
