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.
