NESA Entry

Last week students in Years 11 and 12 met with Teaching and Learning Coordinator, Mrs Raelene Maxworthy, to confirm their pattern of study for 2019. As part of the NESA entry process, students must read and sign a hard copy of their Confirmation of Entry and by signing the student confirms the accuracy of the personal details and course information supplied to NESA by their school. By signing, students also confirm that they have read and will comply with the HSC Rules and Procedures. All signed copies are retained at school until the beginning of the 2019 school year.

Year 10 students will similarly meet with Mrs Maxworthy in the coming week to sign their paperwork.

 

Stage Information Evenings

Last Monday evening in the College Hall we held the first of our Stage Information Evenings - for parents and carers of students in Stage 6 in order to support a continued and positive growth in the learning partnership between the College and parents. The night covered specific curriculum information for Stage 6 students and also addressed relevant pastoral issues. Further evenings are planned for Stage 5 on 18 March and Stage 4 on 1 April. 

 

Year 7 STEM Day

Prior to the Swimming Carnival, Year 7 students were involved in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Immersion day that saw them excitedly designing, constructing and testing an IKEA challenge, a Team flag, a Catapult and a parachuting hero. The teams were awarded points for their efforts throughout the day. They were ably assisted at HELP desks by Year 9 iStem students. Congratulations to Year 7 and the Year 9 helpers. Thank you to the enthusiastic staff who promoted the day - Ms Julie Hodges, Mr Shaun Nicholls, Mr Tim Godden, Mrs Kate Sullivan, Mrs Melissa Bearup and Mrs Briony Martin.
