YEAR 12 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 1

Welcome to the new and final school year. I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and are well rested from the summer break.

As the Head of Year 12, it will be my pleasure to support the cohort in the final step of their journey through schooling and guide them as they step into their roles as leaders of the College, through our theme of ‘Leaving a Legacy’. Their role as the leaders of the College is to activate pride and enthusiasm within the College community and build bonds of trust that empower students to achieve more than they would as individuals. As we embark on this final year together, I encourage each of us to consider how we want to leave our mark and contribute to our legacy.

Most classes have already commenced Year 12 coursework, with many subjects preparing for their first internal assessment (IA1) in the coming weeks. As such, Term 1 promises to be a busy and productive time for many students.

Year 12 Timetable

Students will be able to access their electronic timetable on Wednesday morning to help them find their Pastoral Group rooms. They will also receive a printed copy of their timetable during their pastoral group session.
