Year 12 News

Our Year 12 cohort begin their Trial Examinations in Week 3. They have been working diligently across not just the holiday period, but all of the HSC year and we wish them patience and strength during this time. 

Year 12 had a wonderful session with our Student Wellbeing Support Officer Sue Hone during Week 2, with a focus on fun, laughter and mindfulness. I urge all Year 12s to remember these principles during the next two weeks and I thank Sue, and members of the Year 11 Wellbeing Team, for their support with this.

And finally, we offer a prayer for our Year 12's:

God of Love,

You are with us in every transition and change.

As we enter into this new era with excitement and even some anxiety,

we recall your deep compassion, presence, and abounding love.We thank you for the gifts, talents and skills with which you have blessed us.

We thank you for the experiences that have brought us to this moment.

We thank you for the work of others that gives breadth and depth to our own work.

Be with us as we move forward, rejoicing with you and supporting one another.

We ask this in your Holy Name.

- Joseph P. Shadle

Year 12, best of luck with these exams and, in the words of every good netballer, 'here if you need'.

Kind regards
