Mr Hancock

Today we gathered as a school community to celebrate the outstanding efforts and achievements of our students at the Semester One Academic Awards Assembly. It was a pleasure to acknowledge the dedication, consistency, and commitment shown across all year levels throughout the first half of the 2025 academic year.

Congratulations to all students who received awards. For those who may have just missed out this time, we encourage you to set a personal goal for Semester Two – to give your best effort and strive for continued improvement. We look forward to celebrating more success at our Semester Two Awards Assembly later this year.

Year 11 Course Changes 

A reminder to all Year 11 students and families that the window for Semester Two course changes has now closed. Any further subject changes (ATAR or APEx) will not be considered until the start of the 2026 academic year in Week 1, Term 1. We wish all students the very best as they continue with their Unit 2 studies.

Year 11 Subjects 2026

The subject selection process for current Year 10 students entering Year 11 in 2026 is now open. Students can access the online selection portal using the unique webcode provided last Friday. If students have misplaced their code, they are encouraged to speak with Mr Cotterell, Ms Tagore, Mrs Collins, or myself to obtain a replacement.

 

The portal will remain open for edits and adjustments until Friday, 8 August at 3:30pm, after which selections will be locked in and the construction of subject gridlines will begin.

 

We encourage all students to make the most of the coming week to seek advice from teachers, review subject prerequisites, and make informed decisions that will support their academic success in Years 11 and 12.
