Middle School

Welcome to Term 2!

As Term 2 begins, there are many upcoming events for the students in Middle School.  Year 9 students and parents have already had their interGREAT ‘Personal Project’ expo night on Tuesday 30th of April. 

 

Year 10 students have the METEC excursion coming up in May and towards the end of term, the exam period will begin in week 8, shortly followed by Work Experience and the Central Australia Trip.

All students should look to effectively manage their coursework and subject workloads. Timely completion of work and adequate preparation for their assessment tasks will assist students greatly in having a successful Term 2!

Uniform

The beginning of Term 2 indicates the uniform changeover period from summer to winter uniform.  All students will need to be wearing full winter uniform from the 6th of May.  If anyone is unsure of the winter uniform guidelines, please refer to the ‘Student Dress Code Policy’ which is located on the College website. 

For any further concerns, please contact the relevant Middle School Coordinator.  Thank-you to students and parents for their continued support and abiding by our uniform policy.

 

Year 10 Central Australia Trip Information Evening

As the 2019 Year 10 Central trip is fast approaching, so too is the information night. This will be held on Wednesday the 22nd of May at 7pm in the library. Both students and parents are required to attend. The information night will be a chance to go over details of the trip, distribute forms (including dietary and medical forms) and for any questions to be answered regarding the trip. Look forward to seeing you there!

InterGREAT

The InterGREAT Personal Project Parent Expo was a huge success. On Tuesday night, Year 9 students were on hand to showcase their Personal Projects to staff, parents and the wider school community.

 

Over the course of Term 1 students were required to challenge themselves in developing a new skill. Students needed to display grit, tenacity, perseverance and resilience in order to overcome obstacles and complete their projects. These are qualities that individuals need to thrive.  

 The 500s block was transformed into a gallery of RSC talent proudly presenting their work. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to detail the new skills they have developed and describe the planning and effort that went into their finished product. Interacting and engaging with a wide audience was an authentic learning experience for students.

 

The response from parents was overwhelming! The rooms were abuzz with chatter and enthusiasm. It was great to see so many in depth conversations going on between impressed community members and proud students.

 

Thanks to everyone who participated and made the night such a success!
