22.01.2022 Today is Australia's World Teachers' Day with the theme 'bright future'. Plenty Campus teaching and administration staff helped celebrate the remarkable teaching profession and its bright future by dressing up in a bright coloured shirt or top with some sunglasses to match. Staff jumping in the air challenged the auto focus, although a little blurry, the image is too good not to share! Happy World Teachers Day to teachers everywhere! Great people make great teachers. Great ...teachers make great schools. #thankyou #worldteachersday #greatteachers #greatschools #greatpeople #brightfuture #grateful

12.01.2022 The theme for Library Lovers' Week 2021 was ‘Make a date with your library’. The School's campus libraries had a great week exploring the theme.

Congratulations to the staff winners: Mrs Wearne, Mr Savage and Mr Atkinson-Buck. Our student winners were: Rupert (Year 12), Florence (Year 8) and Olivia (Year 7). Rupert said he had just finished reading 1984 when he saw our competition and recognised the opening line, he didn’t even need to Google for the answer! Name the title of the book that starts with this opening line and date. It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. #youngpeopleofcharacter #learningtogether

09.01.2022 The virtual choir project was undertaken by the The Ridgeway Campus Chorale in Term 3 when rehearsals moved online.

Soloists were auditioned from home and singers participated in weekly online rehearsals in addition to accessing backing tracks and conducting videos to help learn their part.

We hope you enjoy the performance. #youngpeopleofcharacter #learningtogether
