High School celebrates successes of term

Premier’s Debating Challenge Success

The Henry Lawson High School’s Stage 5 debating teams recently travelled to Harden/Murrumburrah to compete in the Premier’s Debating Challenge. Both teams tackled topics centred around education and emerged victorious, each securing two wins. With their strong performances, they are now aiming to advance to the next level of the competition.

Triumphant Rugby Union Performance at the South West Slopes High School 7's Gala Day

Year 11 students Jethro Fenton and Harry Robinson had the exciting opportunity to team up with Temora High School at the South West Slopes High School 7's Rugby Union Boys Gala Day in Wagga Wagga.

Jethro showcased impressive speed, scoring multiple tries, while Harry demonstrated his strength in defence. The combined team displayed exceptional skill and resilience, progressing to the grand final undefeated.

They ultimately triumphed over Mater Dei in the final, claiming the under-18 shield. The team will now advance to the finals in Canberra in August.

Outdoor Education Adventure in the Weddin Mountains

While many students opted for the comfort of indoor classrooms during the recent cold snap, a dedicated group of outdoor education enthusiasts embraced the challenge of the Weddin Mountains.

They explored two southern gullies, built shelters for protection from the elements, scrambled up cliffs, and navigated boulders during their first off-trail hike. This experience is part of their preparation for an overnight hike scheduled for next term.
