YEAR 9
Year 9 Key Information
- The information regarding our Year 9 Tie Ceremony was recently sent via an EdSmart Broadcast. Please ensure you RSVP before Sunday, 17 November for catering purposes:
- As part of our ongoing commitment to the well-being of our students, we would like to highlight the importance of limiting social media access in the evenings. Excessive use of social media, especially before bedtime, can significantly impact students’ mental health and sleep quality. By encouraging your children to disconnect from social media in the evenings, you can help them develop healthier sleep patterns and reduce anxiety and stress.

- As we commence Week 6, it is important to speak with your child about their upcoming assessments to ensure they are setting themselves up for success well ahead of due dates.
- We are fundraising this term in support St Vincent de Paul’s Christmas Food Hampers, which will be donated during our Christmas Liturgy on the last day of Term 4. The pastoral group that fills the most washing baskets (Hampers) for the Christmas Appeal will be rewarded with a class party! We appreciate families contributing to our fundraising initiative to support those in need at Christmas.
Please Remember:- Donations must have an expiry date of at least January 2025.
- Toys and gifts are not required as other organisations handle these contributions.
- We continue to keep our Year 12 students in our thoughts and prayers as they head into their final week of exams. Keep up the great work!
