YEAR 10 

Year 10 Key Information 

• Over the next two weeks, Mrs Ross will be having conversations with students around their subjects selections for 2025. Parents/carers will be included in email communications with students and are encouraged to be part of these discussions. 
   
• Last week, the Year 10 students in SEL (Social Emotional Learning) focused on preparing for their transition into Year 11. The activities aimed to help them recognise and change habits that could hinder their success in their senior years. Students also worked on developing resilience by reflecting on various situations and learning to approach challenges with a growth mindset. These skills are designed to help them adapt to the increased demands of their senior schooling.
   
• As we approach the busy assessment period, I want to remind parents and students about the valuable support available to help manage the workload. Mathematics tutoring is offered every Monday and Wednesday, both in the mornings and afternoons. This is a great opportunity for students to reinforce their understanding, ask questions, and receive extra guidance in preparation for their upcoming assessments.

Whole of College Key Information

• We are still in the Cane Train season, and we frequently cross the railway line that runs beside the College fence. Students must adhere to the signs of a cane train approaching, with lights and sounds triggered at the crossing as the train approaches. In this instance, students must stay well away from the railway line. We appreciate families reminding your children of this safety notice.    
   
• 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 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. 
     
• Attendance is a critical component of continued learning and human development in schools. The table below highlights how missing school days can add up ultimately impacting the continuity of education, leading to disengagement. If your child/ren is having difficulty with attendance please reach out to our pastoral team for support. Attendance matters! Every child, on time, every day!
