”No matter how many times you get knocked down, keep getting back up. God sees your resolve. God sees your determination. And when you do everything you can do, that’s when God will step in and do what you can’t do.”

Joel Osteen

Welcome back to Term 3! I hope that all the girls, and their families, had a wonderful break and were able to rest, relax and reflect on their application and approach to learning in Semester One.

With the commencement of Term 3, also comes the start of the HSC Trial examinations. I wish the Class of 2023 every success in their HSC Trial examinations, and my prayer for them is this extract from Thomas Aquinas’s ‘Student Prayer’ which has stood the test of time for almost 800 years:

“Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself. Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion.”

Careers

All students, especially our Stage 6 students are encouraged to engage with the Careers Bulletin. There is a plethora of information outlined in this bulletin that will assist students in exploring their post school pathways.

While some Year 12 students have a clear path post Year 12, many students are uncertain about their next steps. However, as Phillip Williamson, Head Teacher Careers for the NSW Government’s Educational Pathways Program, writes – it is vital to go easy on yourself, self-reflect and do your research. Williamson’s practical tips for starting a career journey can be found here. The most important thing Williamson advises is to focus on the direction, not the destination.
