Term 4 Update

As the last term for the year gets underway, it promises to be a very busy one for both students and teachers right up to the last school day – Tuesday 3 December for all College students. Apart from the Year 7 Camp in Week 3 and the Senior Retreat for Year 11 in Week 5, normal lessons, homework, teaching and marking will continue up to the last day for each respective year group. There is no such thing as winding down.

Year 12 have completed their schooling and will begin their Higher School Certificate written examinations this week.

This term also sees Year 11 commencing the HSC course, including the first of a series of formal assessments for the 2025 HSC credential. Year 11 students undertaking Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses will also undertake their second industry work placements this term.

Teachers are currently completing Year 11 academic reports ready for posting online via the TASS Parent Lounge by the end of next week and will complete Yearly student academic reports for Years 5 to 10 ready for posting online prior to the Optional Parent/Teacher Interviews on Wednesday 4 December.

Teachers are also actively involved with the usual annual process of evaluation and planning of teaching and learning programs and assessment in preparation for next year, including the writing of programs for the many new syllabuses.

There is the planning and preparation that goes into the College’s Annual Speech Night which will be held at the Sydney Olympic Park Quaycentre on Tuesday 3 December, commencing at 6:30 PM.

These are just a few things happening this term.
