The recent visit to Rottnest Island by the Year 8 cohort was an overwhelming success.
Some outstanding outdoor activities took place on this camp.
The conditions were near perfect.
“It’s been a dream of mine to run my own camp. I went to one as a kid, and got lots of confidence.” – Idina Menzel
As 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.
“Acting is magical. Change your look and your attitude, and you can be anyone.” – Alicia Witt
Duncraig is hosting 15 French Exchange Students and Staff.
Our students visited France last year and now it is our turn to extend the hand of friendship and hospitality.
Madame Rainer welcomed the French students and staff with an informal breakfast and orientation.
They presented the campus with the Flag of Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Ázur.
They also donated two beautiful books. These are available for loan from the Secondary Library.
