C and T Team News for Term 3 newsletter 

Welcome back to Term 3. It has been another disrupted start with the unexpected lockdown 5.0  and 6.0 hitting us so early in the term. Despite this, Term 3 is already in full swing. Students at Year 9 and 10 are discussing their subject selections with their families and making their choices for 2022. Year 10 students are making the difficult decision of VCE or Vocational studies, and then what stream of subjects they will choose. Ms. Francke, Ms. Tauber and Mr. Rankin are conducting one on one interviews with the Year 9 students to assist them with their choices. Ms. Bella Moore is working with the Year 10 students to help them with their Year 11 choices. Any student or family who are still unsure about their choices are encouraged to make an appointment with Ms. Bella Moore (Year 10 students) or to see Ms. Francke, Ms. Tauber or Mr. Rankin (Year 9 students). 

ABCN Aspirations Leadership

Ten of our Year 10 students at Kings Park were selected to participate in the ABCN Aspirations leadership program. They are joined by 10 students from Sydenham and work with a mentor from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The Aspirations program is designed to familiarise high school students with the working world and equip them with skills to build a successful career. We would like to thank ABCN and the CBA for allowing this opportunity for our students. We are very pleased to announce the Kings Park Students leaders for the remainder of 2021. Congratulations to the following students on their leadership appointments: Kings Park Campus Leaders

Year 10 Camp

The school made the unfortunate decision to cancel the 2021 Year 10 Tasmania camp due to the closure of borders and the uncertainty of things again due to Covid 19. Both students and staff were saddened by this decision, as they were really looking forward to their Year 10 camp. 

Student Led Presentations

Students are working really hard on their Student Led Presentations. These are taking place on Thursday the 2nd of September and Friday the 3rd of September. We are looking forward to celebrating the learning journey of the students together with their families throughout these presentations. If any family is yet to confirm their SLP booking, please contact the KP office on 9365 4111. 

We would like to wish all of our families and the wider Copperfield College community good health and all the best for the remainder of Term 3.
