Year 9 QUEST Maria Island Camp UPDATE
We are writing to advise you that the Year 9 QUEST Camp has been reduced by one day.
The School was recently informed by Parks and Wildlife staff on Maria Island that the campground at Darlington, where our School group will be based, is booked by another group on Thursday night and Friday morning. Given the size of our large group, and the significant challenges involved with moving the group to a campground 11 kilometres south of Darlington for one night, we have decided instead to reduce the camp to a 3-day experience. This decision was based on a number of factors, but the most important of these was to program a rewarding and fulfilling set of camp activities in and around the northern part of Maria Island, and so reduce time spent on unnecessary travel to and from a campsite.
A new parent letter will be sent to all Year 9 parents and guardians in the next few days.
Mr David Witcomb
Head of QUEST

Years 11/12 (DP/TCE)
Students have settled into their work schedule quickly and cheerfully. A mentor has been appointed for each student and their mentor will be 'touching base' with them this week to check in and also to organise a weekly meeting time. Students are encouraged to develop a study schedule incorporating their daily classes, study time at school and planned revision and class work at home. This is vitally important for their self-management and progress. Their mentor will provide support, encouragement and valuable assistance in their journey through the school year.
Year 11/12 Camp Postponed
The Year 11/12 Camp planned for 22-24 February has been postponed. The new dates for the camp are Monday 10th - Wednesday 12th May. Further details will follow in forthcoming weeks. We apologise for the inconvenience. The later date for the Study Camp will be more conducive to both Year 11 and Year 12 in preparation for internal assessments, essays, study and preparation for examinations.
Year 11/12 Study periods
A letter of permission for students to leave the College during study lessons is attached. Please complete and return to the office or to Mr Witcomb (david.witcomb@scc.tas.edu.au) or Mrs Schuth (veronica.schuth@scc.tas.edu.au) Year 11 students will begin this in Term 2.
Further to this a letter of permission for students driving cars and/or having student passengers will be sent out in the next few days.
Permission is required for students driving cars onto the school property and for having fellow students in their cars, permission is required from both sets of parents.
