YEAR 9 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 2
Junior Leadership Positions
We are excited to see many Year 9 students expressing interest in the Junior Leader positions for 2027. Applications close soon, and we encourage all students to consider this valuable opportunity to contribute to our College community while developing their leadership skills.
To support students through the application process:
- Current Year 10 Junior Leaders will visit Pastoral Group classes to answer questions and share their experiences.
- A support session will be held on Tuesday during first break, where students can seek guidance and assistance with their application forms.
Mental Health Week
Next week, the College will be celebrating Mental Health Week. Looking after our mental health has never been more important. It helps us build resilience, manage stress and stay connected with the people around us.
I would love to see our Year 9 students get involved in the activities running during breaks throughout the week, including table tennis, First Nations activities, Just Dance, the staff versus student volleyball match, and icy poles with live music. The full schedule is available on the last page of the College Bulletin.
On Friday 16 October, students are invited to wear purple to recognise Mental Health Week.
Please remember that normal personal grooming expectations still apply, including hair tied back and appropriate jewellery. Clothing must also be suitable for school: no midriffs exposed, shoulders covered, shorts longer than mid-thigh, and closed-in shoes.
