Leader of Year 9 Wellbeing
Mr Peter Robertson
We’ve already reached Week 3, and the year is racing towards its close. It’s been a great start to the term, and there’s lots to look forward to in the weeks ahead.
Catechism Training
In Week 1, on Wednesday, 13 October, our Catechism training took place at St Aloysius Primary School in Cronulla. Thank you to Ms Gam for facilitating and guiding us through the day and putting so much effort into teaching us how to be Catechists for next year, where we will be teaching Burraneer Bay Primary students about Catholic scripture.
Yearly Assessment Block – Weeks 4 and 5
As we approach the end of the year, Weeks 4 and 5 mark our major assessment block. For most subjects, we will have our final assessments of the year, making this an important opportunity for students to show the learning and growth they’ve achieved over the past months. This is a busy but rewarding time, and we look forward to seeing students finish the year strongly.
Challenge Day – Stanwell Tops
At the conclusion of the assessment period, we will head to Stanwell Tops for our Challenge Day at the end of Week 5 (13 November). We’ll engage in a range of fun outdoor activities—such as high ropes, climbing, and abseiling—accompanied by our Year 9 Pastoral teachers for an awesome day out. This will be a wonderful opportunity to develop leadership skills for those applying to be Peer Support Leaders in 2027.
We look forward to a great few weeks ahead!
