Inside Melody
The final Prefect’s Assembly for 2023 was a busy one. Thank you to the barbershop group Inside Melody - Saem Millward, Jesse Wallace, Armani Whitehead-Wilson, and Old Boy Joshua Webster – for their performance and to Year 9 student Saafal Gautam who presented this week’s album review. Prefect’s Matthew Wongchoti and Alex Christensen presented the annual Fred Hollows Address.
Well done to our student leaders, Head Prefect Jake Maskill and Deputy Head Prefects Jack Trotter and Same Millward, along with all of the young men who have presented and performed at the Prefect’s Assemblies during the year. It has been fantastic to see so many stepping outside their comfort zone to take the stage in front of their peers.

German
The Y10 German class had a visitor yesterday: Beate Weinhardt, the National Language Adviser for German, came by. The students learnt all about the German cake Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Blackforest cherry gâteau), which is one of the most famous cakes in the world. Not only did the students get to impress Beate with their German skills, what is more, they decorated and devoured mini-versions of the cake in class. Great uptake and participation, great questions, great language skills all around.
