Community Assembly - Speeches - TOMORROW
14 Aug 2025

Good afternoon, 

Tomorrow (Friday 15 August) our students will be presenting their speeches in our mid-term community assembly. They have been working on these for a number of weeks and are looking forward to sharing them with our school community. 

Everyone is welcome to come along. We will be starting at 12.45pm and ask that you please be here 5 minutes early so everyone can be seated in time and we can have a prompt start. 

We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. 

Thank you, WCS

Cross Country baking and help - Wednesday 13 Aug
11 Aug 2025

Good afternoon, 

This Wednesday (13 Aug) we have our COPS cross country at the Dimond's farm and HTG hut. We are once again running our food stall and are asking our school community to please donate baking if you are able to. This was really popular last week and contributes a lot to our fundraising goals.

We are also in need of help in both the food stall and as marshals on the course. If you are available on Wednesday and can lend us a few hours of your time, please get in contact with the office. 

If you are able to donate baking please bring it into school on Wednesday morning before 9.30am.

Thank you, WCS
