Congratulations to Emilia (Y7) who received her award for winning the Stile's September Art of Science Competition recently. The monthly competition celebrates the interplay between art and STEM, and the winner of the competition receives prizes for themselves, their teacher and their school. Emilia's work will be displayed in the Senior School Admin Hub.
Jessica (Y4) recently travelled to Coffs Harbour to compete in the Australian National Oztag championships, representing the ACT team.
At Year 12's final eucharist and chapel service in the Chapel of the Annunciation, we held the beautiful tradition of inducting next year's Head Chorister.

Thank you to Hannah and all of our long-serving Year 12 choristers for your outstanding performances, and congratulations Helena, we look forward to listening to you in 2024!
