High Notes, Vol 27 No 6, March 13 2026From the PrincipalSchool Athletics CarnivalIt was wonderful to see over 1050 students attend and take part in the school athletics carnival. The heat did not deter Year 12 from dressing up for the 100m race. The event was run with precision due to the careful planning of MIC Athletics Mr Kurt Rich and valuable assistance from teachers and athletics coaches. The annual Jaggar gift was a close finish, but the stagger was too much for fast finishing Nestor Chan (12R) with Wynston Lu (7R) getting the victory. A special mention goes to Jusin Mao (9M) who broke the under 14 long jump record with a jump of 6.16m. School Swimming CarnivalOver 1000 students participated in the school swimming carnival. Year 12 still dressed up for the 50m race with multiple heats of superheroes. The event went smoothly thanks to MIC Swimming Mr Jake Rowlands and support from teachers and coaches. More records tumbled in the swimming carnival:
The Duke of Edinburgh's AwardThank you to Ms Chan for making the Duke of Ed process so clear for our students. In 2025 we had 45 students complete the bronze award and 7 complete the silver award. Over 90 have shown interest in this process in 2026. How to Stay Safe Online
Staying safe online means being informed and setting clear boundaries. The eSafety Commissioner
encourages parents to take an active role by understanding the apps and platforms young people
use and by applying strong privacy and security settings. Families should agree on clear
expectations about respectful and responsible online behaviour. Students should be reminded not
to share personal information and to think carefully before posting or responding online. If
something does not feel right, they should speak up early and seek support. Practical advice and
reporting options are available through the Australian eSafety Commissioner website: |
