School Spirit
The Fish Philosophy
- Be there!
- Choose your attitude
- Make their day!
- Have fun!
The school has a focus on creating a positive, caring and safe environment. This has nurtured development of a number of programs that foster excellence, endeavour, harmony and collective school community spirit. These include Assembly Presentations, Merit Awards, Endeavour and Achievers Programs, Achievers’ Camp and Achievers’ Day, Year 7 Sydney/Canberra Tour, Outdoor Education Camp, Faction Competition, Student Council and Graduation Activities.
School Spirit is also fostered through special whole school projects that include performing arts, community based activities, competitions and special events. Last year the whole school performance was La Carnivale, a tapestry of dance, theatrical movement, acrobatics, circus and colour from across the world and through the ages. It proved an enormous success, engaging learning and uniting school and community in three fabulous performances.
School Spirit is also evolved through promoting enjoyment, fun and humour into daily school life, based upon the “Fish” philosophy ‘walked and talked’ by the Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle, now by all at Beaumaris.
