Athletics Carnival – Joondalup Arena
August 3, 2017
School sport is an integral part of a child’s development. So many great lessons can be learnt from them participating as an individual or as a team member. The Athletics Carnival involve a mixture of individual and team events. Some of the events include sprints, relay races, long jump, high jump, tug-a-wars, etc.. By trying a variety of sports, students get the opportunity to see if they are gifted in any particular area – that they may not have known about or enjoyed before.
Apart from the physical benefits of sports carnivals there is also the comradery that is formed by being part of a House – the house colours, the war cries, the house mascots – this builds a feeling of team and community and a little friendly school rivalry!
The house results are as follows:
1st Place: Timae
2nd Place: Alethea
3rd Place: Carana
Congratulations to all students and staff.
WADL Debating- OctoFinals at Hale
August 2, 2017
Despite putting up a galant performance last night against a highly-organised team from Perth Modern, our novice team lost by a solitary point and therefore bow out of the competition.
The team pictured:
Cara-Anne Kerr, Emma Pattenden, and Charlotte Buchanan coached by Jana MacAdam (Class of 2016).
They were very well prepared, spoke beautifully and confidently and were a credit to themselves, the school and our community.
In years to come (and they’re eager to come back for more next year) they will be a formidable team.
They deserve our congratulations on their efforts.

Playing teams from across Perth (and beyond), the girls put in a creditable performance in winning one game and also drawing another. The games were keenly-contested and our performances were spirited. The team comprised students from both the Carramar and Duncraig campuses and students ranged from Year 7 to Year 11. As ever, they were a credit to the school.
