SENIOR SCHOOL NEWS

Rebecca Durran

Senior Sub School Manager

 

We are over halfway through Term 3 and there is a lot happening in the Senior Sub School to prepare students for the end of year celebrations and formalities that are to come. Now is a timely reminder that your attendance is as important as ever. If you are unable to attend school due to illness, please contact our attendance officer and provide a medical certificate with the correct days of absence upon your return to school. If you are not in the classroom learning, the expectation is you will contact your teachers and catch up on work missed to ensure the best outcomes in your education. 

Although the end of the year is near, now is not the time to become complacent in your studies and revision. Remember to get enough sleep each night and consume nutritious food throughout the day to fuel your body and brain. Manage your time well and continue to go over the content for all your subjects to make revision more manageable as we approach exam time. 

Year 12 Jumpers

Year 11 students have been busy designing and deciding on their Year 12 jumper for 2023. The Senior Sub School have sample sizes to try on until Friday 26 August. Students will need to inform someone in the Year 11 YLC Team as to the size they would like to order as well as the name to put on the back of their jumper. Instructions about ordering the jumper have been sent out via Compass and Google Classroom. Orders need to be made directly though Indigo Wolf by Friday 16 September.

Students have been given their individual exam timetable for the GAT, this information includes the sections they need to sit or the new GAT in 2022.

Staff are busy preparing exams and revision material for students to ensure they are given the best opportunity to achieve their best at the end of the year. Any concerns with exam times or clashes need to be forwarded onto Mrs Durran to make an alternative time for you to complete your exam.
