End of Year Events

This week all parents/carers will receive a detailed account of all the various events and details about the run into the end of the 2024 academic year. Term 4 is jam-packed with a range of College and year-level specific events and opportunities. Partnership is incredibly significant to Mr Franzin and hence the opportunity for parental involvement through invitation. Please see below of a quick summary of upcoming events, but for further specific details please refer to communications via EdSmart.

Commitment & Character:

As we approach the busy end of Term 3 and move into Term 4, two significant terms come to mind in commitment and character as we navigate and deal with opportunities that come our way. Exams and assessments for example can feel like a stressful time. However, applying a level of dedication towards achieving your best outlines is an absolute must. Demonstrating you are committed to achieving your best and willingness to put the work in. In doing so we apply many character traits which will hold us in good stead.
