A massive congratulations to all our students on successfully completing their exams! We understand the effort and determination it takes to prepare for these tests, and we are incredibly proud of each and every one of you. Your commitment to your education is truly inspiring.
We are also very impressed with the continued dedication to attendance which has significantly improved this year. This achievement reflects the dedication of our students, as well as the support and encouragement from parents and guardians. Regular attendance is crucial for a successful educational experience, and we commend everyone for their commitment to being present in class.

In other news, our Year 7 students recently embarked on an unforgettable camp adventure. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to bond with their classmates, develop teamwork skills, and embrace the great outdoors. We would like to extend our gratitude to the teachers and staff who organized this memorable experience, ensuring the safety and enjoyment of our young adventurers.
Similarly, our Year 9 students recently had an exciting city excursion to Melbourne CBD. This excursion provided them with a unique opportunity to explore the vibrant city, learn about its culture and gain valuable life experiences. We are grateful to the teachers and staff who accompanied our students on this trip, guiding them through the city's wonders.
Looking ahead, we want to inform you that end-of-term reports will be released at the end of term. These reports will provide a comprehensive overview of your child's progress throughout the semester, highlighting their achievements and areas for further development. We encourage parents and guardians to review these reports with their children and discuss their goals for the upcoming term. Remember, open communication between home and school is key to fostering academic growth and success.
As the term comes to a close, we would like to wish everyone a happy and safe break. Take this time to relax, recharge, and spend quality moments with your loved ones. Reflect on your accomplishments this semester, set new goals, and return refreshed and ready to tackle the challenges that lie ahead.
