Last week Year 10 students were involved in activities focusing on preparing for their final Assembly on Friday, the Year 10 Camp at Copeton Dam and the Graduation Mass which will be held on Friday 6 December.
The Year 10 farewell social was also held last week. Year 9 students organised a fantastic send-off for the departing students. The school hall was decorated in a '70's' theme and looked amazing. All students had a great time and Year 9 deserve congratulations for the cooperative way in which they worked together to achieve their goal of providing a memorable night for the Year 10 students.

Classes in the Secondary for Years 7 – 9 are back to normal with the completion of semester exams last week. The exams are only part of each student’s assessment profile and when receiving feedback from their teachers all students are encouraged to reflect on their efforts this year, and how they may improve in the future.
A great approach for students is to undertake a simple SWOT analysis:
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Opportunities:
Threats:
Staff are currently finalising the assessment process for their classes and they are preparing reports, which will be distributed at the end of the term.
All classes will be operating as normal for the remainder of the term as there is still coursework to be completed across all KLAs.
