- I Care Certificates awarded on weekly assemblies
- I Care Champions awarded each semester
- iCare reward sessions for the iCare Champions each semester, as well as for all students who receive an A for behaviour on their report card.
Celebrating and Showcasing Musical Excellence
Each year we celebrate and recognise the achievement of our students through the Music Showcase and Awards Evening.
Parents and guests are invited to an evening of music and celebration as our String Ensembles, Concert Band, Keyboard Program and Yarrilee Voices .
The evening concludes with the presentation of awards across all areas of our Music Program.
