Year 11 IB Diploma Core Days
Tuesday 21 May to Friday 24 May
All Year 11 IBDP students will be engaging in a four-day programme that will replace normal time-tabled classes. Students will be meeting at Hodgkin Hall each day, just prior to 9:00 am. From there they will be engaging in a raft of activities related to Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay and the Group 4 Science Project. Further details of this programme were shared with families earlier this week.
SSATIS Cross Country
The SSATIS Cross Country carnival is to be held at the Domain - Soldiers Memorial grounds on Wednesday 22 May. Year 9/10 students will travel to and from the venue by bus. This will depart from the Argyle Street bus stop at 9.00am and return at approximately 2.30pm. Students will need to bring suitable energy food, a drink bottle and their lunch.
A school bus has been arranged to transport Year 11/12 students to the Domain, leaving Carr st at 12.10pm and returning at the completion of the carnival.
We ask that students ensure they are organised to wear the correct sports uniform. Given the time of year, a warm jacket and wet weather gear is highly recommended for this event.
Parents are most welcome to attend.
