Year 10 Report 

Having spent their first term in the senior school, students have been considering what career pathways they might wish to pursue, developing peresonalised goals and considering what attitudes, skills and behaviours they might need to develop to achieve them. It’s been wonderful chatting with students about their aspirations and great to hear that many of our students have now organized placements for work experience that align with their ambitions. Any students in need of support with this moving forward are strongly encouraged to visit the careers and pathways team or myself for assistance, as the dates for these placements are fast approaching. 

Wishing our year 10's a wonderful term break - filled with quality time amongst friends and family, enjoying hobbies and getting much needed rest. As senior students I also strongly encourage all to chip away at their holiday homework progressively to set themselves up for success in term 2.
