Just a reminder that SAC dates have been published and provided to students. All students must be present for SAC’s.

Redemptions are provided for students who do not meet a satisfactory level in the SAC. Students are given a Redemption Notification form, which details task, time and date. This form needs your signature. Some tasks are run during the school day, whilst others will be run afterschool. Please complete and return forms.

Appointments need to be made at alternate times. If students are absent, then a medical MUST be provided on return to school. Thanks for your support.

Study Center & Study Hall in the Library

The Study Centre is open till 6pm each night. In the library Pre-Service teachers from Maths/Science & English/Humanities will be available to support our students. This is a great opportunity for students to have personal coaching. This runs from Monday – Thursday.

Motivation

Students need to consider the power of the mind:

B – Belief

E – Excellence

S – Study

T – Toughness

Demonstrate respect for your teachers, a positive mindset, ‘I can’ do mentality and goal setting along with never give up.

Student comments:

“don’t be distracted”       “use time wisely”

“for all actions there are effects”

All students will be challenged to take the ‘Selfie Challenge’.

We will concentrate on study skills and ‘What Does Success look like’ next term.

We are really excited that our Year 12 students have the opportunity to attend the athletics carnival. We anticipate the students participating, dressing up and supporting the juniors. Notes have been provided. Please complete and return asap.
