YEAR 11 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 6
2027 House Leaders Step Up!
During Week 5, our 2027 House Leaders took the lead in their first House Assemblies, guiding students through House war cries and assisting with the organisation of the Vinnies Ice Bucket Challenge to raise funds for St Vincent de Paul.
Well done to our new House Leaders on a fantastic effort! It was also pleasing to see our Year 11 cohort supporting and encouraging the incoming leaders at their respective House Assemblies.
St Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal
Our St Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal continues, and I encourage all Year 11 students to contribute a grocery item to their Pastoral Group's hamper.
As a Year 11 cohort, we are aiming for 100% participation across every Pastoral Group, with a reward for those PGs where every student makes a contribution.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our Year 11 students to demonstrate the College Guiding Principles of Community and Empathy by coming together to support local families in need this Christmas.
Uniform and Grooming Expectations
With only three weeks of the term remaining, this is a timely reminder for all Year 11 students to continue meeting College uniform and grooming expectations. This includes maintaining appropriate haircuts, ensuring eyelash extensions comply with College expectations and adhering to the clean-shaven requirement for boys.
As our Year 11 students are now the senior leaders of the College, they are expected to Lead the Way and set a positive example for younger students. We appreciate the support of parents and carers in reinforcing these expectations.
Textbook Returns
A reminder to all Year 11 students that Unit 1 and 2 textbooks and class novels must be returned to the College Library.
Students and parents/carers have been emailed regarding any outstanding items. Please ensure all resources are returned as soon as possible to avoid any further follow-up.
