After months of effort and hard work, the students of the VCE Theatre Studies class were finally able to perform their play for 2013 to an audience – Henrik Ibsen’s classic, Hedda Gabler.

The Year 12 performance is the result of the year’s biggest group effort, as opposed to the monologues later in the year which the students must work on individually.

For this year’s production of Hedda Gabler, the students all worked closely together to make sure the story ...

In late July, the Year 10 cohort set off on their Outdoor Education camp where the snowy environs of Mt Buller were to become their home for five days. For many of our students, this was the first time that they had encountered snow first hand and it is always a delight to share with them their first reactions and experiences.

The camp however, is more than just visiting the ...

A breeze of excitement swept through the air as the eager year 11 and 12s strode into school on the Thursday morning.
