Addison Newlan 
started her school holiday break with her first yacht overnight delivery from Gold Coast to Sydney, on board Maritimo 11, which was headed to Sydney for the renowned Sydney to Hobart Regatta. The new Maritimo 11 TP52 racing yacht unfortunately took on some damage in storms and heavy seas between the Gold Coast and Coffs Harbour, which meant they were unable to compete in the Sydney to Hobart Regatta.
Addison next joined the crew for the King of the Derwent Regatta on 2 January 2023, which Maritimo claimed line honours in. From there, Addy then travelled up to Port Darymple (North Tasmania) to compete with Maritimo skipper, Michael Spies over a week long period in the 53rd Australasian Championships for the NS14 National Association. The NS14 is a two person dinghy, which Addy crews whilst Michael skippers. They ranked 2nd (after 10 races). Addy then flew from Launceston to Perth to compete in the week long National Chamionships for her O’pen skiff dinghy class, competing in a very competitive fleet of 39 sailors. The sailors were from Australia, India, New Zealand and Thailand and despite missing the two days of pre regatta training (and sailing for the first time on the other side of the country on Perth’s beautiful Swan River), Addison placed 2nd (out of 39 competitors) in the Gold Fleet.
Such great achievements Addison, we are so proud of you!
Our Year 10 students were recently offered the opportunity to participate in the Northern Collegiate Leadership Program in 2023. Together with their program mentor, Ms Pengelly, six of our students attended the leadership camp at Currumbin Valley Outdoor and Environmental Educational Centre. Students have formed real and valuable connections with students from the schools in the collegiate, and they have challenged themselves in completing the outdoor activities while also planning their project. We look forward to seeing what the teams in our collegiate are able to achieve and the contribution they will make to their community over the coming days and in the months ahead.
