Year 9/10 Rugby 9’s Northern Schools Competition
On Tuesday 26 May, the Carine Senior High School Year 9/10 Rugby 9’s team proudly represented the school at the Northern Schools Boys Competition held at Health Park, Eglinton. The boys competed against nine other schools from across the Northern Metropolitan region, including Aranmore, Yanchep, Wanneroo, Gilmore and Joseph Banks.
Throughout the day, the team displayed outstanding sportsmanship, resilience and teamwork. Competing against some strong rugby league programs, the boys acquitted themselves exceptionally well and continued to improve with each game. They recorded impressive victories over Yanchep, Wanneroo and Joseph Banks, while also producing several highly competitive performances against quality opposition. One of the highlights of the day was a thrilling match against rugby league powerhouse Aranmore, where the boys narrowly went down in the final play of the game after an outstanding effort.
Special mention must go to Kye May, Jimmy Evans, Fletcher Taavale, Erik Lejonberg, Luke Giblin and Costa Usher, who all produced outstanding individual performances and made significant contributions throughout the competition.
A sincere thank you also goes to Te-Relli Whaanga (Year 11) who assisted the team in a coaching capacity.
The team should be extremely proud of their efforts and the positive manner in which they represented Carine Senior High School.
Mr Findlay
On Friday 15 May, Carine Senior High School was honoured to host the 2026 Sandakan Memorial Service at the Sandakan Memorial in Kings Park, commemorating the 81st anniversary of the Sandakan Death Marches and remembering the 1,810 Australian and 741 British servicemen who lost their lives during World War II.

We extend our sincere thanks to our distinguished guests, veterans, RSL representatives, members of the former Borneo Prisoners of War Relatives Group, community organisations and supporters who joined us for this special occasion. Your presence helped make the service a meaningful tribute to those who endured unimaginable hardship and sacrifice.
A special thank you to Reverend Lieutenant Colonel Mark Walker, guest speaker Mr Ross Brennan, the 16th Battalion, The Royal Western Australia Regiment Catafalque Party, our school choir and ensemble, bugler Dexter Humphries, and our Year 12 Prefects whose leadership, readings, wreath laying and participation ensured the service was conducted with dignity and respect.
Lest We Forget.
Mookaroo sees the coldest and wettest time of the year in the South West. Traditionally, this was a good time of the year to move back inland from the coast as the winds turned to the west and south bringing the cold weather, rains and occasionally snow on the peaks of the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges.
As the waterways and catchments started to fill, people were able to move about their country with ease and their food sources changed from the sea, estuarine and lake foods to those of the land, in particular the grazing animals such as the kangaroo.
As well as a food source, animals provided people with many other things. For example, the 'yongar' or kangaroo, not only provided meat but also 'bookas' (animal skin cloaks that were used as the nights became much cooler). Nothing was left. Even the bones and sinews were used in the manufacturing of bookas and for affixing barbs to hunting tools such as spears.
Mookaroo is also a time for a lot of animals to be pairing up in preparation for breeding in the coming season. If you look carefully, you might see pairs of 'wardongs' (ravens) flying together.
Upon the lakes and rivers of the South West, you'll also start to see a large influx of the Black Swan or 'Mali' as they too prepare to nest and breed.
Flowers that will start to emerge include the blues and purples of the blueberry lily (Dianella revoluta) and the purple flags (Patersonia occidentalis).
As the season comes to a close, you should also start to notice the white flowers of the weeping peppermint (Agonis flexuosa) as the blues start to make way for the white and cream flowers of Djilba.
