Welcome back to term 4

If you would like your young person to engage with one of our school psychologists, please email me, Kerri Haworth (haw@cheltsec.vic.edu.au) and I will organise for the psychologist to give you a call.

Celebrations

We have had a fun start to the term with the Wellbeing team organising a picnic day for the Year 12s that included some fun inflatable rides. The students had a great time and were commended on the way they conducted themselves by the ride attendants from Aussie Events. Congratulations to all of the Year 12s and we wish you every success with your upcoming exams and whatever the future holds for you all.

You are about to finish the secondary schooling chapter of your lives. A new chapter awaits and at this stage the pages are blank. You get to write your story in whatever way you want. Be sure to make it as interesting and exciting as you possibly can.

You are the architect of your own destiny!

Warm regards,

Kerri Haworth
