Out and About
Congratulations to Katie Mills, who works in the Student Support area here at the College, for continuing the terrific Homework Program with St Joseph's Primary Grade 3 students. It is wonderful to see the Year 10 girls interacting with the very enthusiastic St Joseph's students each Monday afternoon.
Exams
The exam period for Years 10 and 11 begins next week. Parents are reminded that 10/11s will have a study day on Tuesday June 5th, with exams commencing on Wednesday June 6th. Students are not required to be at school except for their exams and can wear warm casual clothing. Year 12s (and those Year 11s doing a 3/4 subject) sit the GAT on Wednesday June 13. A reminder that Friday 14th June is a student free day whilst staff undertake curriculum and assessment tasks.
Year 10 Host Families
As you may be aware, each year we work with Mazenod in hosting students from the Oblate school in Hong Kong. Mazenod takes two boys and we have two girls. This year the students will arrive on Sunday 15th July and leave on Friday 2nd August. During their time in Melbourne they live with their host family and go to school as normal, then spend weekends with their 'family'. We supply them with a uniform. There is also a trip to Healesville and to the city for the students and hosts. There is also a dinner on the last night that is paid for by Mazenod as thanks for hosting. If you are interested in hosting this year, could you please contact me here at the College on lcannon@killester.vic.edu.au. I coordinate the program here at Killester and go on the activities with the girls.
Best wishes for the coming week.
