Senior School

As we embark on the fourth and final term of the year, we would like to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all our students, parents, and staff. Term 4 promises to be a time of both reflection and anticipation, as we celebrate our Year 12 students' remarkable achievements and look forward to the exciting journey that lies ahead for them.

The Year 12 Farewell assembly was a resounding success, serving as a poignant tribute to the hard work and dedication our graduating students have displayed throughout their academic journey. Their accomplishments, both in the classroom and in their broader school community involvement, have been truly exceptional. The Graduation Dinner that followed was a joyful and poignant event, where not only the students but also the staff and parents came together to celebrate the remarkable moments of their time with us and to look forward to the promising futures that await them.

As we bid farewell to our Year 12 class, we cannot help but feel an immense sense of pride in their accomplishments and the knowledge that they are well-prepared for the adventures that lie ahead. We have every confidence that they will excel in their future endeavours, and we can't wait to see where their journeys will take them.

For the rest of our students, Term 4 promises to be a busy one. With lots of assessments and exams on the horizon, there's much work to be done. However, we believe in the resilience and determination of our students, and we are confident that they will rise to the challenge and perform to the best of their abilities.

We were delighted to recognise the outstanding contributions of our students with the Positive Impact Awards at our recent assembly. These awards acknowledge the exceptional students who have made a positive difference in both our school and the broader community. Your dedication to making the world a better place does not go unnoticed, and we are immensely proud of each and every one of you.

In other news, our Year 10 students enjoyed a memorable camp in the final week of Term 3. These experiences are essential for personal growth and the development of lifelong memories and friendships. It's wonderful to see our students having the opportunity to step out of their comfort zones and create lasting bonds with their teachers and peers.

We would also like to extend our congratulations to Ketrina Mawal for her outstanding speech on Open Day. Her eloquence and passion truly captured the spirit of our school and the unique opportunities it offers.

As we move forward, our Year 10 students are slowly being prepared for the HEADSTART program, which will take place in week 8 of this term. Mr. Kalfas, our VCE coordinator, will provide valuable insights and expectations for the year ahead. Formal information will be sent home in the coming weeks to ensure that everyone is well-prepared for this exciting transition.

In addition, our dedicated counsellors took some time to speak to our Year 10 students to discuss preparation and stress management leading up to the upcoming exams in week 7. We understand the importance of providing the necessary support to help our students work through the demands of the examination period.

We hope that this term brings even more success, growth, and positive experiences for all our students. As we celebrate our Year 12 students' accomplishments, we are reminded that the future is bright for all of our learners. Together, we will continue to inspire, educate, and prepare our students for the world beyond our school walls.

Here's to an amazing Term 4 filled with achievements, learning, and growth!
