Community connections extend well beyond the School
I doubt too many of you are racing car enthusiasts, but I hope this bit of trivia, with thanks to Margaret Lowe, Deputy Principal for the video link, will interest some of you now. The winning team, Erebus Motorsports V8 Supercars at the recent Bathurst 1000, is owned by Betty Klimenko, the adopted daughter of the late John Saunders. She is the first ever female winner of this prestigious motor race. Our Administration building, The John Saunders Building, was rededicated in his memory by his three children.
Watch this interesting clip about Betty and her dedication of the win to her late father.

Music and alumnus Adam Harpaz (Class of 2013)
The ‘Lost Tour’ brings Adam Harpaz to a secret location near you! With five intimate shows planned in a variety of spaces from backyards, to living rooms, to warehouses, to cricket pitches, these warm evenings of honest music will be something you won’t want to miss.
These shows are for ALL AGES, so feel free to bring the whole family along. From toddlers to the grandparents, music is inclusive and everybody is welcome to enjoy it.
After spending the winter on his first international tour playing across America, Canada and New Zealand, Adam has a collection of new songs and stories to share from his travels abroad. Adam will also be performing his latest single ‘Lost’ live at these shows.
