YEAR 11 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 6
College Guiding Principles
This week, Year 11 students participated in an extended Pastoral Group session focused on three of our five College Guiding Principles: Dignity, Empathy and Dialogue. Students explored what these principles look like in practice and how they can apply them in their everyday interactions and choices at the College.
In Week 7, students will continue this focus by exploring Community and Perseverance, completing their reflection on all five Guiding Principles and how they can apply them in their day-to-day life at the College.
2027 Student Leadership Application Process
The Year 12 2027 Leadership application process has now progressed to the next stage, with shortlisted students invited to continue in the selection process.
We were fortunate to receive a large number of strong applications from students willing to step forward and serve our College community. While not all applicants progressed to the next stage, every student who applied should be proud of the courage and commitment they demonstrated.
Leadership is not defined by a title or position, and each of these students has the opportunity to continue leading in their own way.
Congratulations to our shortlisted students. We look forward to supporting you through the next stage of the process.
2027 Senior Jersey
We are now in the final stages of the design process for the Class of 2027 Senior Jersey.
Next week, the designs will be narrowed down to three options, which will then be shared with Year 11 students for a final vote.
Once the final design has been selected, further information will be provided regarding the ordering process.
