LGBTQ+ and Allies Support Group

This group is for any students wanting to know more about LGBTQ+ issues or even understand how to become a better ally. It’s a safe space for anyone wanting to contribute to a more diverse and inclusive school environment.

Arcadia

Arcadia, meaning a place offering peace and simplicity, is a club set up to combat mental health issues. Fortnightly, students meet to relax in a stress-free environment. Students can detox from any worries inside or outside of school. Promoted by our student wellbeing ambassadors, the club aims to create a positive atmosphere for students inside of school.
