YEAR 7 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 7
Celebrating Success
Week 7 is a busy week in our College calendar as we celebrate the achievements of students across all year levels and farewell the Graduating Class of 2026.
I am particularly excited to recognise the academic and sporting achievements of our Year 7 students at Monday evening’s Presentation Evening and Tuesday’s Sports Assembly.
On Wednesday, it is important that all students are wearing full formal school uniform and adhering to the College’s uniform, grooming and jewellery policies. Please take a moment this weekend to ensure formal school shoes are clean and polished so that students can represent the College with pride at these important community events.
Year 7 End-of-Year Community Day
On Friday, 27 November, Year 7 students will participate in their End-of-Year Community Day. The Year 7 cohort and their Pastoral Mentors will celebrate the end of the year with a fun-filled day at Goomboora Park.
Please look out for the INFORM permission slip, which will be sent via email and the MyCE App. Permission slips must be completed by Friday, 20 November.
House Challenges
This week saw the conclusion of the Year 7 House Relay Challenge for Term 4. We thank our Year 11 mentors for coordinating the competition and congratulate all students who participated.
It is with great pleasure that I announce 7 Heavey 1 as the overall winners, defeating 7 Cahill 1 in the final! Heavey took an early lead with some sharp shooting in the beanbag toss and high-quality skipping. Cahill was unable to catch up as Heavey raced through the shuttle runs and burpees before completing the challenge with five quick basketball shots. Congratulations to Heavey 1 on a fantastic team effort!
Well done also to the teams who placed in Tuesday’s quick brain teaser challenge during Extended PG. Congratulations to Murray 2 (1st), Cahill 2 and Murray 1 (equal 2nd), and Hutchy 2 (3rd). These teams secured the points for our final House Challenge of the year.
