Thank you so much to our wonderfully generous students and families who showed their support for the Fiver for a Farmer event today. We raised $1700! Well done, Tighes Hill!

Thank you to our amazing students, parents and grandparents who came along to celebrate Education Week with us today. Students thoroughly enjoyed leading our younger students in a range of STEM activities from Ozobots to slime, and it was lovely to receive such positive feedback from our visiting guests. Happy Education Week!
Well done to Ellen, this week’s Star! Funny, kind and nice are just a few words to describe this gorgeous young lady.
Well done to all our clever mathematicians who took part in the Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians at the end of last term. The program provided students with a series of problems to work through and allowed them to collaborate and discuss strategies in small groups. Congratulations on your effort and hard work completing this challenging challenge! Our super achievements are below:
Proficiency – Zali, Annabelle, Callum & Rowan
Distinctions – Will, Fin, Julian, Archie, Amie, Ellen, Hamish, Oliver, Norah, Hamish, Kynan, Raquel & Emma.
A special mention also to Emma and Raquel who achieved a perfect score!
