- 13 Mar 2026Well, done to the Y8s in their final rugby tournament. In some horrendous weather condition's the team showed some great resolve and resilience. Not how they would have wanted to finish their last tournament after such a successful season but there were some great performances despite the conditions. 2 wins and 2 loses in the night. The team should be very proud of the achievements they have had over the last 2 years. A big shout out to the parents and supporters who endured the poor weather with us.View This Post

- 13 Mar 2026Year 8 have been exploring the theme "Creating an Atmosphere" in their recent art project. Inspired by M. C. Escher's hidden skull illusion, students recreated the visual effect but replaced the skull with a carefully chosen word to reflect the mood of their work. They combined this with the expressive drip style of Marion Bolognesi, using colour to create emotion and depth. The final pieces are powerful, personal responses that beautifully blend illusion, colour and atmosphere. Well done, Year 8!View This Post
