YEAR 10 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 7
BLA Careers Expo
Thank you to the Year 10 cohort for engaging so positively with the BLA Careers Expo. We hope that all students have gained a deeper understanding of potential future careers and now have a clearer picture of their pathways after completing school.
Year 11 Mentor Program
As part of our leadership program, we offer Year 11 students the opportunity to become Year11 Mentors. In this role, they will work with our incoming Year 7 students, supporting them as they transition to high school.
This is a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate servant leadership and community spirit, and it forms an important part of our students’ leadership journey.
Next week, the application form for the Year 11 Mentor Program will be released. I encourage families to have discussions with their child about this leadership opportunity. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.
