A Fantastic Open Evening at Long Bay College

A huge thank you to all the families who joined us for our Open Evening on Wednesday, 16th July. It was a fantastic night, and we were thrilled to welcome so many of you through our gates to see what makes Long Bay College such a special place to learn and grow.

Our student leaders did an amazing job guiding visitors around the school, sharing their own experiences, and helping everyone get a real feel for life at Long Bay College. Our staff loved chatting with families and answering questions, and the presentations in the Auditorium were a great chance to share what we’re all about – from our academic programmes and sports to arts, leadership and beyond.

We’re so proud of our school, and it was great to see so many of you excited about what’s ahead. If you missed the evening or want to learn more, there are still plenty of chances to connect with us in the coming weeks.
