18th February, 2025.
On the evening of 11 December 2024 I had the pleasure of joining Bowral High School for its presentation night. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the students' outstanding achievements across academics, sports, performing arts and music, as well as their growth as learners and individuals. The evening was a true celebration of talent and achievement, with exceptional musical performances by year 10 and 11 musicians. It was wonderful to finally meet the new Bowral High School principal, Ms Safija Bristina. It was great to share the spectacularly good news that Bowral High School was selected as one of 13 to benefit from a share of $50 million in infrastructure funding under the High Potential and Gifted Education Policy. That funding will deliver important upgrades to specialist school facilities at Bowral High School and will assist it to deliver talent development and extension opportunities across a range of subject areas.
