YEAR 10 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 9
Year 11 Mentor Applications
Application forms for the Year 11 Mentor Leadership opportunity have been distributed to interested students, and we have been pleased with the positive response. We look forward to reading the students’ applications. Completed applications are due by Thursday of Week 10.
R U OK? Day
Next Thursday, we will recognise R U OK? Day, with students encouraged to wear yellow to show their support for raising awareness of mental health and suicide prevention. As part of the day, students will share a KitKat with members of their Form Group while taking the opportunity to check in on one another’s wellbeing. Our Junior and Senior Leaders will also host a community breakfast from 7:30 am for students and their families. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together, support one another, and strengthen our College community.
