Term 2 Update!
As we are currently in the midst of Term 2, students should be ensuring they are completing their work and maximising their learning opportunities. It is also a time when students need to be vigilant in submitting assessment tasks in a timely manner and also continually referring to their Compass to remain up to date with their course work. Parents can also support students by regularly viewing their child’s Compass to check and monitor student progress.
Work experience is approaching very quickly for Year 10 students. Please make sure you have your work placement organised and that all forms and required documentation has been completed.

InterGREAT Personal Project Parent Expo
Our InterGREAT Personal Project Parent Expo was a huge success. Last Tuesday night approximately 250 year 9 students were on hand to showcase their Personal Projects to staff, parents and the wider school community.
Over the course of Term 1 students were required to challenge themselves in developing a new skill. Students needed to display grit, tenacity, perseverance and resilience in order to overcome obstacles and complete their projects. These are character qualities that each individual needs to thrive.
For a night, the 500’s area was transformed into a gallery full of RSC talent proudly presenting their work. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to interact and engage with an audience. The response from parents was overwhelming! The rooms were abuzz with chatter and enthusiasm. I hope the students found the evening a positive experience, with the school community displaying so much appreciation for their efforts.
Thanks to everyone who participated and made the night such a success!
Some quotes from the night:
“It was such a great night…Very positive vibe and very enjoyable”
“Our kids are so lucky to come to this school”
“A night like this makes me feel a part of my son’s education. Thank you”
