Senior School

Term 2 has been a productive and rewarding period across the Senior School, with students demonstrating strong commitment to their studies through key milestones such as the GAT, examinations, and work experience. It has been pleasing to see students continue to develop their independence, resilience, and focus as they progress through the year. As we look ahead to Term 3, attention will turn to important assessment periods, subject selection, and preparation for final VCE examinations, with a range of opportunities and supports in place to guide students through this next stage.
