Curriculum Matters

Our Presentation evening was held on Tuesday 9th November in the Nazareth Pavilion.  Congratulations to all students who were recognised on the evening for their success in the areas of academic, sporting, performing arts and individual service. It was wonderful to see so many parents and staff in attendance to help celebrate. 

Year 6 into 7, 2022 - Orientation Day and Parent sessions

The Year 7, 2022 student Orientation Day was held on Thursday 18th November. It was great to meet our new Year 7s and to have the opportunity to show them around; it was also great to catch up with parents on Thursday evening. We look forward to welcoming you all into the St Mary’s community in 2022.

Year 11 – Pathway and eligibility

Year 11 parents and guardians have been sent a letter regarding ATAR and QCE eligibility requirements. Students have now completed their Unit 2 assessment and are encouraged to carefully consider whether the current pathway remains appropriate. As with all information provided, the school encourages students and parents to meet with relevant personnel to discuss their individual pathway and gather information related to their needs.

Year 12 – External Assessments and end of year 

Our Year 12 cohort have finalised their formal assessment and said farewell to the St Mary’s community at yesterday’s Graduation Mass. You are all to be commended for the way you approached your final assessments, whether during the external assessment block or finalising Certificates and applied subjects. Congratulations!

All students need to ensure that they have their LUI number and password stored in a secure place so that they can access QCE and External Assessment results, in the myQCE (student portal) on the QCAA website, on Friday 17th December from 9am. 

ATAR eligible students will be able to access their ATAR in the ATAR portal from 9am on Friday 17th December; please remember to check in and respond to QTAC offers as the timelines could be tight. 

We wish our graduating class the very best in life; make the most of the opportunities that come your way…

Farewell

Finally, from me, I wish the whole SMCC community all the best in the future and thank you for the opportunities and support that I have been given during my time as Deputy. Time to chase my next adventure…

Thanks
