YEAR 12 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 1

Welcome back for Term 3

As we commence Term 3—the final full term of classes for our Year 12 students—we encourage all students to remain dedicated to their studies and continue to meet the high standards expected at the College. This is a significant period as they approach the conclusion of their formal schooling.

Semester 2 Sport Schedule

This term, sports sessions will be dedicated to preparing for the Celebration Dinner. Students must attend these sessions, as they will receive key information and contribute to the planning of this special event.

Community Pastoral Group (PG)

Each Monday morning, students participate in Community Pastoral Group, where essential updates are shared regarding upcoming school events, including the Celebration Dinner and the Graduation Mass. Students must arrive at school on time to ensure they do not miss these critical communications.

Year 12 Graduation Dinner

Please continue to submit baby photos so that all students can be represented in the photo presentation at Graduation.

Please send them to Helena Tutoe at htutoe@cns.catholic.edu.au

Uniform Schedule: Week 1
