"Curriculum should help children make deeper and fuller understanding of their own experience."

Congratulations, Year 12, and a special acknowledgment to the proud parents and families! After nearly 50 HSC subjects completed across more than 100 hours of exams, major works, and performances, you have officially completed high school. Your hard work, dedication, and resilience have brought you to this milestone moment. After 13 years of schooling, countless assignments, excursions, and assemblies, now marks not just an end, but an exciting new beginning.

 

As you embark on this next chapter, remember that your achievements speak volumes about your capabilities and potential. Embrace the opportunities ahead with confidence and curiosity, knowing you have built a strong foundation that will support you in whichever path you choose. This is a time of celebration, not just for your individual successes, but for the incredible support network of parents, families, and teachers who have stood beside you.

 

We warmly invite the Class of 2024 to a morning tea celebration on Wednesday, 18th December, to reconnect and reflect on all you've accomplished. Congratulations to the Class of 2024 and to their dedicated families for reaching this significant milestone!

 

Looking Ahead: Assessment Tasks for Year 12, 2025, and Final Assessments for Years 7–10

As we move through Term 4, it’s a busy period for all our students. Year 12, 2025, is now officially underway, with students completing some of their first HSC assessments, while our Year 7–10 students are preparing for final assessments. Teachers are working to support students in solidifying their understanding, reviewing key concepts, and developing skills that showcase their strengths and knowledge.

 

We encourage all students to approach these assessments proactively. Staying organised, setting up a study routine, and asking questions early on can make a huge difference. This is a time to demonstrate the knowledge you've gained, and a strong finish to the term will set a positive tone for the new year.
