As we settle into the term, I want to take a moment to thank all parents and families who attended the Senior Parent Information Evening. Your engagement and support are invaluable as we work together to ensure the best possible experience for our students.

Men of Honour Program

This Tuesday marks an important milestone for our Year 11 students with the first Men of Honour pastoral care day. Details have already been shared with families, and this initiative will continue throughout 2025 as part of our commitment to pastoral care. Homeroom teachers will be leading sessions that reinforce the values and personal development of our young men.

Assessment Task Procedure 

A reminder about the process for Senior School assessment task absences:

  1. Students are required to email their classroom teacher, and the VCE Coordinator Ms Panosh as soon as the absence is known.
  2. Ms Panosh will organise a time for the student to complete a catch-up, and she will communicate directly with the student. 
  3. All catch-up sessions take place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in WIL001.

 

Below is the Year 12 SAC calendar for Term 1 as well as key dates in the Senior School Calendar. Please encourage your son to stay organised and prepared for his upcoming assessments.
