AUSTDRIVE Defensive Driving Program – Wednesday 19 November

We are excited to once again offer the AUSTDRIVE Defensive Driving Program to our senior students on Wednesday, 19 November. Young drivers continue to represent the highest proportion of road crashes in Australia, making this program a vital learning opportunity for our youth.

We sincerely thank the Rotary Club of Port Pirie and the Rocky River Lions Club for their generous donations, which have made this important safety initiative possible.

Places are limited — families are encouraged to secure a spot for their young driver as soon as possible.

Farewell to Formal Lessons – Year 12 Class of 2025

Our Year 12s officially finished their formal lessons at the end of Week 2, Term 4 — a major milestone for the Class of 2025!

They celebrated the occasion with a week filled with fun and spirit: dressing up for themed days, raising money for Breast Cancer awareness, and even arriving at school in the early hours for their traditional “muck-up” morning. To cap off the festivities, students treated graduating peers and staff to a delicious breakfast. The Year 12s were then waved off by the whole school in the traditional driving cavalcade.

Year 12s are now finalising their assignments and preparing for upcoming exams. We wish them every success and look forward to celebrating their achievements at the Formal and the Presentation Night in December.

STAGE 1 BIOLOGY

The Stage 1 students have been working on an antibiotic practical as part of their Cells and Microorganisms topic. The students learned about sterilisation techniques and how to prevent contamination of samples. They also worked with several common antibiotics and E. Coli bacteria.
