What a wonderful night we had for the PIMusic Showcase – great weather, great food, great company and great entertainment!
Thank you to everyone who came and participated in this mammoth event – the first live performance opportunity we have had for almost two years! We estimate close to 1000 attendees over the night (students included) with 359 meals and 400 sausages sold. The team of workers and volunteers that toiled away over both Tuesday and Wednesday to set up and then pack up the event really exemplified this year’s College theme of “We before I.” Special thanks to the following:
• Our fantastic music students (and parents) for their commitment to music lessons • The staff of the PIMusic Department – preparing students for performances and the backstage crew • College maintenance crew – setting up and packing down over two days • PE Teacher, Miss Emily Perry – for sharing her teaching space with us for two days • FoPIM President Julie Martinuzzi – Event management and catering • Holly Taylor – Event Management • Warren Best – MC * Mr Trevor Pedler for taking all these wonderful photos • Shake It Up Music and DW Sound – sound and lighting • Mrs Bean Mobile Coffee – the much-needed coffee! • The following businesses for food/drink donations: Erbachers Fruit and Vegetables, Woombye Butchery, Woombye Spar • New Life Church – car parking • The amazing parents in the Friends of Performance and Instrumental Music for volunteering their time and talents to assist with the evening
Lastly, we give thanks to God for his unending grace and provision and for the opportunities we get to share our God-given gifts with you and your students. ... See MoreSee Less

Year 7 1st in Cartography 2nd in Engineering
Year 8 1st in Code breaking 3rd in Legacy
The teams enjoyed their day, they are brimming with excitement and I'm very proud of their efforts. I look forward to reporting back on the Year 9 team soon.
Mr Tom Noble, an NCC High School teacher, has written four books in his ‘Dragon’ series, based on historical chronicles, existing art and memorials. The author's travels and his fascination with the legends of Suffolk and beyond have inspired these stories, written to entertain and educate children about historical events. Tom came to do an ‘author reading’ with class 3W this week and to answer questions the students had on the stories and about being an author. ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations to Levi from Class 3W! Levi has been attending the Perigean Digital Hub, a community coding club held on Saturdays. Levi and his team member entered the National RoboRAVE competition and came second in the middle school line competition which was an amazing achievement! The day included six straight hours of coding as well as eight hours of prior workshopping to design a robot and a code for it to follow using LEGO Minstorma EV3. On the day they were given a random line design, and the robot had to follow the line perfectly (through intersections etc.), and release balls into a box! Wow – Well done Levi! ... See MoreSee Less
