YEAR 10
Year 10 Key Information
- This week, I accompanied the Year 10 students to the Career Expo and was pleased to see how much they benefited from the experience. Should the expo prompt any changes in your child's subject selection for Year 11, please contact Mrs Ross as soon as possible.
- Year 10 students will participate in the "Unleashing Personal Potential: Equip Leadership" workshop this week. This full-day, high-energy training will challenge them to harness their influence, strengths, and teamwork skills. Through interactive activities and the A.S.P.I.R.E. framework, they will develop essential leadership qualities and become more effective team players.
- The Year 11 Mentor selection process will start soon. Look for the application email and be ready to explore this valuable leadership opportunity for 2025. We encourage parents to speak with their child about this opportunity.

Whole of College Key Information
TUESDAY ASSEMBLY
We look forward to recognising students on Tuesday at our College Assembly for their continued engagement in learning and exhibiting our five guiding principles. Students who have been awarded four or more Head of Year Certificates will be receiving a Principal's Award. Additionally, those students who have received four Principal's Awards, will be receiving their College Medallion, which is a remarkable achievement!
It is wonderful to see so many students across all year levels continuing to challenge themselves with learning and service to our College community. Congratulations to all recipients; we cannot wait to see more awardees in the future!
ASSESSMENTS
Across all year levels, students are submitting final assessments, completing exams, or beginning preparations for assessments early in Term 4. To ensure students achieve their best possible assessment results, they are expected to complete all homework requirements and study/revise after school and, sometimes, over weekends, too. Parents/carers are encouraged to speak with their children to discuss assessments and support them in this journey.
COMMUNICATE ABSENCES USING THE MyCE APP!
A reminder for families, if your child is absent from school, please ensure this is communicated, ideally using either the MyCE App or Parent Portal. Keeping the College informed ensures that support for your child can be provided as necessary.
UNIFORM EXPECTATIONS
As we approach the end of term, we ask that all students and parents continue to support the College uniform expectations. Upholding these expectations is important to show our unity and commitment to the College community. Students who do not meet these expectations will be engaged in conversations with the relevant Head of Year and Assistant Principal.
Week 9 Uniform Schedule & Reminders
On Monday, Year 9 students and Tuesday, Year 10 students are required to wear their Sports Uniform as they will be participating in the UPP Leadership Day.
