HSC Examinations Term 4 (Weeks 1 - 4)
We extend our very best wishes to all Year 12 students as they make their final preparations for the Higher School Certificate examinations, which commence on Tuesday, 13 October with the first examination beginning at 9:50am. This is the culmination of many years of hard work, dedication and perseverance, and we encourage students to approach the coming weeks with confidence and determination. We wish every student success and God's blessings as they undertake this important next step in their educational journey.
We also remind all members of our College community that HSC examinations will be taking place throughout the school grounds during this period. Students in Years 7-11 are asked to be especially courteous and respectful when moving between classes, gathering in common areas and participating in activities near examination venues. By helping to maintain a quiet and considerate environment, we can support our Year 12 students to perform at their very best.
Attendance Rates
Year 7 - 93.7%
Year 8 - 91.6%
Year 9 - 91.8%
Year 11 - 92.7%
Regular attendance is one of the most significant factors influencing student learning, wellbeing and academic success. Students who attend school consistently are better able to engage with classroom learning, develop positive relationships with their peers and teachers, and make steady progress in their studies. Every school day provides valuable opportunities for learning, collaboration and personal growth that cannot always be replicated outside the classroom.
We encourage all families to make school attendance a priority and to work closely with the College if challenges arise. If parents or carers have concerns regarding their child's attendance, wellbeing or engagement with school, we encourage them to contact their child's Year Coordinator. By working together, we can ensure students receive the support they need to achieve their personal best and remain connected to their learning.
Term 4 - Summer uniform
As students return for Term 4, we remind all students that the summer uniform is to be worn from the first day of term. Students are expected to take pride in their appearance and ensure that all aspects of their uniform meet College expectations. This includes wearing the correct summer uniform items, appropriate footwear, and maintaining a neat and professional presentation each day.
We also ask families to support the College by ensuring that students return with hairstyles and grooming that reflect our school standards. Haircuts should be neat, tidy and of a style appropriate for a learning environment, avoiding extremes in length, colouring or fashion trends that draw unnecessary attention. Students should also ensure that their general grooming, including jewellery and personal presentation, complies with College expectations. Maintaining high standards of appearance helps foster a sense of pride, respect and belonging within our College community.
No Parking in Grosvenor Crescent - Residents only
Students are reminded that parking is not permitted in Grosvenor Crescent. Due to current Sydney Water public works in the area and the limited availability of parking, the street is designated for residents only.
We ask all students who drive to school to respect local parking restrictions and be considerate of nearby residents by using approved parking locations. Failure to comply may result in fines issued by local authorities. Thank you for your cooperation and support in maintaining positive relationships with our local community.
