Senior School News
Term 3 is already well underway with course counselling for 2019 in full swing. All students in Years 9, 10 and 11 will have met, or are meeting with Carol McCaskie or myself in regards to subject selections and pathways. All interviews will finish by the end of week 4 and students will be notified of any issues later on in term 3. If you have any questions or concerns about course counselling or subject selections, please contact Nick Hamer-Smith.
Thank you to Daniel Lake who has replaced Mary Maniatis for three weeks while she has been soaking up the sun in Hawaii.

I’d like to take the time to thank all of the parents, guardians and students for your support over the years as Junior and Senior School Leader at GEC. I will be taking family leave as of 3rd August so please contact the Assistant Principals if you have any questions. As I have coordinated all of you throughout your time in the Junior School, it’s a timely reminder to Get Organised, Get Focused and Get Involved! I wish you all the very best and look forward to seeing all of your achievements in the future.
