Year 10 RESPECT Leadership Camp
A Snowy Adventure to Remember
Earlier this term, a selected group of twenty Year 10 students had the incredible opportunity to attend our annual RESPECT Leadership Camp at the stunning Rubicon Outdoor Adventure.
Led by Mr. Luke Sharp and Ms. Maddie Solly, the camp ran for four nights and offered a wide range of outdoor activities designed to challenge, inspire, and develop leadership in our students. From caving and white-water rafting on the Birrarung (Yarra River) to tackling the high ropes course, and embarking on a breathtaking alpine snow hike, students were pushed out of their comfort zones in the best possible way.
Evenings were spent bonding around the campfire roasting marshmallows. Despite the chilly weather, the warmth of teamwork and laughter made this an unforgettable experience for all.
Both Mr. Sharp and Ms. Solly praised the students’ conduct, teamwork, and positive attitude, describing it as "the best camp we’ve ever attended." The students embraced every challenge with enthusiasm and demonstrated the core values of the RESPECT program throughout the entire trip.
We are incredibly proud of how these young leaders represented our school and look forward to seeing them apply their newfound skills in the school community and beyond.

Planning Pathways for the Future
This term, students in Years 9 and 10 will receive dedicated support through our course counselling program as they begin to shape their learning pathways for 2026 and beyond.
Year 10 course counselling took place at the end of Week 3, followed by Year 9 counselling at the end of Week 4. These sessions are a vital opportunity for students to make well-informed decisions about their subject selections, guided by their strengths, interests, and future aspirations.
For Year 9 families, we recommend discussing subject options at home, helping students reflect on their goals and make confident choices for their electives in 2026.
This is an exciting time for students as they take greater ownership of their education and begin planning for future opportunities. We look forward to supporting each student in making choices that will empower their learning and success.
