House Spirit Shines at 2024 Running Festival

We had glorious conditions for our 2024 Running Festival. Hosting this event on campus makes for a great atmosphere and the buzz on the start line was electric. With something for everyone on the day it’s wonderful to see the whole College participate.

Despite the challenging course set out for our runners we saw some speedy times from some talented athletes. A big congratulations to our runner up and Champion runners and we look forward to seeing these athletes excel at the Term 2 IGSSA event.

The House ‘Run’ was a sea of colour as all students took to the 1km course, challenging themselves to complete it in the time limit to earn extra points for their house.

Despite Kelly having the most runners on course, congratulations go to O’Reilly our 2024 Running Festival Champions.

Combating The Attention Span Crisis In Our Students – Jennifer Oaten

It is no secret that attention spans have been steadily declining, especially among younger generations growing up immersed in digital technology. The average person’s attention span when using a digital device has plummeted from around two and a half minutes back in 2004 to just 47 seconds on average today – a dramatic 66% decrease over the past two decades.
