Last week, in an effort to better understand the Australian political system, our Year 8 students participated in the annual St Michael’s Grammar School Mock Federal Election.

During the final week of Term 3, our Year 7 students participated in an Immersion Days program, where students had the opportunity to break off into an elective group of their choice, and immerse themselves in new activities.
