YEAR 9 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 3
Work Experience Program - Grade 10, 2027
Last week, you should have received an email from Ms Felicity Earl, our College Careers Counsellor, outlining the 2027 Grade 10 Work Experience Program.
The program will commence this Tuesday during our extended Pastoral Group session, with an information session delivered by our work experience provider, VPG. Attendance is compulsory for all students.
If you have not received the email outlining the program, please contact the College.
Tie Ceremony
In Week 8 of this term, we will celebrate our students’ transition from Junior to Senior Secondary with our Tie Ceremony, to be held on Wednesday 25 November in the HOB.
Students and parents will hear from a member of our alumni before students receive their ties in preparation for Senior Secondary. The evening will culminate in a social dance.
Further information will be shared with families via Inform and discussed with students during Pastoral Group and Community sessions in the coming weeks. This will include the event’s start and finish times and dress expectations.
Assessment Calendars
Students now have access to their Term 4 Assessment Calendar through the Student Portal. We encourage students to use their student diaries alongside the calendar to stay organised, track upcoming assessment due dates and prepare for scheduled examinations.
