//Duncraig campus has been awarded The Mathematical Association of Western Australia silver certification in recognition of actively extending students and staff in the classroom and beyond.

//Nick Holmes competed in the U18 2,000m steeplechase on Sunday 21 February at 10:30AM (very warm conditions) – he was first in a time of 6:17.22.
He has automatically qualified for the Australian Athletics Championships being held in Sydney between 12-19 April this year (COVID permitting), and intends to participate in the 2,000m steeplechase scheduled on April 18.
A US College scholarship is still something very much in his sights so he can combine his love of athletics with studies in a medical field, and avoid the substantial cost of doing similar studies in Australia.
CONGRATULATIONS NICK!
