On Monday 11 November, the Santa Sophia high school community participated in a ceremony to commemorate Remembrance Day.
Stage 4 students led the ceremony, which included prayers for peace and The Ode. The ceremony ended with the last post, one minute's silence, the rouse and the National Anthem. Students laid a wreath at the flag pole in remembrance of those who have served, both past and present.

Year 10 Careers Development students had the privilege of welcoming Jojo from UTS Startups on Friday, 8 November! Jojo introduced them to entrepreneurship—identifying problems and taking risks to create business solutions. He shared his journey with Big Talks Weekly, a subscription service delivering real-world case studies for HSIE subjects. Students learned that entrepreneurial thinking starts with identifying a problem, understanding who it impacts, and testing solutions. They brainstormed innovative ideas, tackling challenges like finding time to walk your dog and boosting focus for schoolwork. Those interested in diving deeper were encouraged to explore the UTS Practical Entrepreneurship 1 Unit online next year, or consider UTS Startups after school! 🚀
