Senior School

Good Luck to Unit 3&4 Students
As the Unit 3 & 4 exams begin, Senior School would like to extend our best wishes to all students. This is a significant milestone, and we are confident that your hard work and dedication will pay off.
Students are permitted to take the day before any exam as a study day, allowing them to prepare from home. Students are encouraged to continue to work with their Year 12 teachers during SWOTVAC to better prepare for their upcoming exams. We encourage students to stay focused, manage their time well, and look after their wellbeing throughout the exam period.
To the parents and families, thank you for your ongoing support during this important time. Good luck to all our students!
Year 12 last Day
Our Year 12 students enjoyed a memorable final week of classes, participating in a variety of themed dress-up days and activities. Their last day was celebrated with a catered breakfast and lunch, along with a range of fun games and activities shared with staff and peers. It was wonderful to see students reflecting on their school journey and celebrating the friendships and achievements they have made along the way. We congratulate the Class of 2026 and wish them every success as they prepare for their final exams and embark on the next stage of their lives.
Lockers: Year 12 students must have their lockers emptied by the end of SWOTVAC - Friday 23rd October.
