YEAR 10 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 7

College Events and Uniform Expectations

Week 7 is shaping up to be an exciting and significant week for our College community, with Presentation Evening, Sports Awards and Graduation Mass all taking place. Students are encouraged to carefully check the College uniform schedule and ensure they are wearing the appropriate uniform for each event.

We thank families for their ongoing support in helping students present themselves with pride and respect at these special occasions. Congratulations to all students who will be recognised for their achievements at either Presentation Evening or the Sports Awards. We look forward to celebrating your success!

Assessment

As we approach the final two weeks of the school year, Year 10 students are entering a particularly busy assessment period. Students are encouraged to stay organised by regularly checking the assessment calendar, acting on feedback provided by teachers, revising for tests and exams each evening, completing all homework tasks and seeking assistance from teachers whenever additional support is needed.

With only a short time remaining, I encourage all Year 10 students to maintain their focus and finish the year with determination and pride in their efforts.

A reminder that attendance is required for all scheduled assessment tasks. If your child is absent due to illness, please record the absence via the MyCE Parent App and contact the relevant teacher to discuss any necessary alternative assessment arrangements.

Community Day

We are excited that our much-anticipated Year 10 Community Day at Cairns Wake Park is just around the corner in Week 8! The day promises plenty of fun, opportunities to strengthen friendships and the chance to create lasting memories together as a cohort.

As our final Year 10 event, it will be a wonderful way to celebrate the end of students' junior secondary schooling journey before they transition into their senior years.

A reminder that all parent responses and waiver forms should now have been completed. If there are any issues, concerns or outstanding circumstances that may affect your child's participation, please do not hesitate to contact me as soon as possible so that we can provide support and assistance where needed.

We look forward to sharing a fantastic day with our Year 10 students and celebrating the many connections and achievements they have made throughout their junior secondary years.
