Senior School Update

Years 5–12 Athletics Carnival

The Athletics Carnival was a fantastic day of competition and school spirit. Participation was high, as was the enthusiasm, and it was great to see strong support from staff and families.

Year 10 2026 Project Ready / VCE Acceleration Information Evening

Last week’s info session provided valuable insights for students/families considering VCE acceleration or the Project Ready program. Key takeaways included:

Criteria and expectations for students accelerating into VCE subjects.
Overview of Project Ready’s focus on employability skills, community engagement, and personal development.
Support structures in place for students navigating these pathways.

Thank you to all families who attended this session.

Senior School Chapel

This week’s Chapel focused on the theme of courage and standing up for what is right. Thanks to our Year 7 readers in particular for their contribution to this service.

Looking Ahead

Next week is highlighted by the Roadsmart Interactive program on Thursday for Years 9-11 and Year 12 Vocational Major, teaching students about road safety through an interactive workshop.
Further down the road, Year 10 look forward to their three-day camp in Melbourne, which will no doubt be a great experience for all.

John Thompson,

Head of Senior School
