21.01.2022 It was a joy to be able to welcome some parents back to our Cathedral to celebrate the end of a challenging but fruitful year in Junior School and Gawura. Our community congratulated many award-winners from across the year, thanked our current leadership team and introduced 2021's team, and said farewell to a few staff and celebrated others who were awarded for their recent achievements. Even though 2020 has been a year like no other, we're grateful that we have been able to continue to learn and grow and pray that our Junior School families have a safe and restful break!

20.01.2022 Our staff are awesome. While we can't have visitors come into school right now, our teachers and support staff have been joining our Gawura students in the mornings for their reading and literacy time!

20.01.2022 Yesterday, a group of Year 8 and 9 students met with the US Consul General Sharon Hudson-Dean for an informal Q&A at a city cafe. The meeting came as a result of the Consul General's earlier talk to SACS students for International Women's Day in March. Her talk generated a great deal of interest from students, who were keen to hear more from the inspiring diplomat. The girls asked some great questions about women in leadership, diplomacy, gender equity, COVID-19 and a career as a diplomat.

In a year unlike any other, they have managed to produce some fantastic pieces -- and we're very grateful for the support of their teacher Ms Salier in making it happen.
