Middle School, Term 3 Week 2 2026
It was a delight to welcome students from Himeji High School in Japan to Pulteney today as part of our exchange program. We hope they enjoy their time in Adelaide, immerse themselves in life at Pulteney and build meaningful connections within our community.
Thank you to Kirsty Hickman-Davis and Yu Hall for their commitment to Languages and for their careful organisation of the program. We also extend our sincere thanks to the host families for their generous support and engagement in providing this valuable experience.
Tomorrow is the Secondary School Swimming Carnival. Please ensure students arrive at school on time, as the bus departure schedule is tight. Families and students are also encouraged to familiarise themselves with the outline of the day and ensure students arrive prepared with everything they need.
We look forward to a wonderful day of participation, competition and House spirit.
Wednesday 29 July: Swimming Carnival
The carnival is always a highlight of the school calendar, providing students with an opportunity to represent their House, build House spirit, and contribute to the strong sense of community that exists within the Senior School.
The day offers a range of opportunities for students to participate, whether through competitive swimming events, novelty activities, House challenges, or by supporting and encouraging their peers. We encourage all students to become involved and contribute to the positive atmosphere that makes the carnival such an enjoyable occasion.
As a normal school day and an important whole-school event, attendance at the Swimming Carnival is expected for all students.
