PYJAMA DAY
On Friday 21st July we held a Pyjama Day to raise funds for disadvantaged children in foster care to provide them with the necessary tools to have an adequate education. Overall, it was a great success. Not only did we surpass the goal of $500 raised, but it was also awesome to see everyone getting involved and embracing the opportunity to support the cause.
We encouraged students to wear their Oodies as a part of a competition we were running in which they would be put into a draw to win a block of chocolate. We would like to congratulate Angus in Year 8 who won the competition and enjoyed his chocolate!
It was a nice treat for everyone to rug up in the cold weather. As school captains, it was rewarding to see that the hard work behind the scenes paid off and everyone enjoyed the day. Hopefully we can have more participation on days like this in the future.

High Achievers’ Luncheon
Last Friday the Senior School hosted a High Achievers’ Luncheon. Parents, grandparents, and students were treated to a delicious lunch and a certificate ceremony to acknowledge and applaud the hard work of our top achieving students in Semester 1 from Years 10, 11, and 12.
Jack Talbot recognised students’ achievements and their capacity for resilience, hard work, development of their soft skills and widening their opportunities in life.
There was a wonderful energy in the room and many proud smiles from our onlooking guests. We are working hard to cement our culture of celebrating high achievement and citizenship at ESC and this was a great opportunity to do just that.
Thank you to our Senior School staff for organising: Emily Hay, Shane Closter, Sean Reid, Bec Holmes, Liam McManus, Grace Sleit and Meg Gogerly and to Sera Poe for organsing the excellent catering.
Congratulations to the following students:
Year 10 – Alice, Angelika, Jayden, Miah, Caitlin, Liana, Emily, Jem, Elizabeth and Hailey
Year 11 – Lena, Savannah, Bradley, Darcy, Lucy, Levi, Harrison and Jack
Year 12 – Alex, Allanah, Briony, Caitlin, Christian, Daniel, Galaxy, Hayley, Jake, Kahlani, Kaylee, Keeley and Violet

Keeping up with Year 10!
Work in new electives
With the new Semester came some great new electives that students are completing. Students have been really engaged and it has been wonderful to hear the great feedback from teachers and the outstanding work that is being completed.
Please enjoy some photos of students and their work in the Pop, Paint, Print class!
And in the Pursuit of Fitness!
Work Experience Reflections
As you will know, our Year 10s attended work experience in the last two weeks of Term 2. We have had really positive feedback from employers and the students were not only productive but had some great fun too. 
We had Harry Loveridge complete this great reflection on his work experience at the cafe “Rich Man Pour Man” and he is now even working there twice a week.
Make sure to go get a coffee from him some time!
Extra-curricular Achievements
We would like to give a massive shout-out to Tahlia Blackwell who travelled to Adelaide for the Physipole Ignite Finals. She came 1st runner up in her category of Advanced Aerials where she competed on hoop.
Keep up the amazing work Tahlia, we are proud to have you at ESC!
