Today we celebrated the Years 7-11 Awards for the Academic, Cultural and Sporting pursuits of students.
Over two assemblies, we heard a number of musical items by the Chamber Choir and Symphonic Winds, along with photo slideshows highlighting all of the amazing experiences our students have enjoyed this year.
In his Principal’s Address, Mr Finneran reflected on the recent Philippines Immersion where he visited children who do not have the same rights and privileges as those who live in the Western Suburbs of Perth. He asked our students to view their education as a precious gift and to embrace the opportunities afforded to them to enhance their Newman College experience.
