Congratulations to Emilie in Year 11, winner of the 2023 Lorraine Harrison Youth Sculpture Prize. Emilie was blown away when her name was announced at the opening of the Viewpoint Elements exhibition on Friday: "I actually won first place in the youth category, which was kind of crazy." But her sophisticated concept and impeccable technical skills were clear for all in attendance. You can catch Emilie's amazing sculpture at the Eclipse Gallery in the Albany Museum until December 15.

Congratulations to our Year 7-10 Athletics team who competed at the Inter-Schools Carnival on Tuesday. Special mention to Year 8 student Ella who broke the longest standing inter-school record for Year 8 100m which had been held since 1998!

The University of Newcastle is conducting research to develop a well-being program to improve teenage girls' physical and mental health, as well as support fathers to nurture their bond with their daughters.

We are hopeful this program will achieve similar success to our multi-award winning Daughters and Dads Active and Empowered program which targets primary school aged girls and their fathers for improved wellbeing, sports skills and physical activity.

We have developed a short survey for high school aged girls to complete and another one for father/father figures of high school aged girls. The surveys ask questions about well-being, sport, physical activity and family relationships and have been approved by the University of Newcastle Human Research Ethics Committee.

Dads of high-school aged girls.

Have your say in developing a program that aims to enhance the father-daughter connection & wellbeing of your teenage daughter.
