YEAR 10
Year 10 Key Information
- To celebrate the end of compulsory schooling, Year 10 students will enjoy an excursion to the Aqua and Wake Park. Parents, please check your email for the permission slip and complete it promptly. A signed disclaimer form is required to participate in Aqua and Wake Park activities. Students cannot undertake activities without this form. Each student has been issued a paper copy of the disclaimer, which must be completed and submitted to their Pastoral Mentor by Friday, 15 November 2024.
- Assessments are just around the corner as we enter the final three weeks of the school year. We encourage all students to organise their study schedules, maintain a balanced routine, and contact teachers if they need support. This is a time to stay focused and make the most of the remaining weeks.
- Thank you for your ongoing support during this busy period. We look forward to a strong finish to the term together.
