CALLING ALL DEBATERS!
February 6, 2018
A meeting for all students interested in representing the school in the Western Australia Debating League will be held in A7 at lunchtime on the 15th February. Students who have no experience of public speaking or debating are particularly welcome, as are those who have previously represented the school in previous years. Coaching for all teams will be provided by the school. Public speaking encourages critical thinking, fosters engagement with global issues, and equips students with lifelong skills and the confidence to pursue their potential. WADL aims to do this by ensuring all WA school students have access to challenging debating competitions, high quality resources, and purpose-built development opportunities. Involvement in WADL debates is a fun and challenging way of representing the school. Please come to the meeting at lunchtime on the 15th February to find out more. I look forward to seeing you there.

A Rose By Any Other Name…
February 16, 2017As part of the Alethea House assembly, Miss Arora and Mr Jakeway brought the iconic balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet to life. Because it was Valentine’s Day, the House assembly explored different kinds of love from romantic love (Romeo and Juliet) to love of God. The assembly concluded with a unique rendition of Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’ which was mimed by many staff members. A memorable assembly.
