While our College has been able to remain open for classes and programs, many schools around the State have been closed. Farmers and people in rural areas or close to the bush are naturally anxious and we do well to take every precaution today; the next week and through the summer months. Let’s remain on watch and try to offer support for those in need.
The 2019 HSC is officially over and students, staff and parents are relieved. It can be a stressful time, yet we know that 50% of the HSC mark is completed during the 12 months of Year 12 prior to the exams. These days many students already know their future pathway as universities have already offered early entry places to courses. Apprenticeships are often in place and the HSC exams can often be the final stage of a reasonably planned process. Let me thank on your behalf, the teachers of Year 12, the mentors on staff; the exam assistants; and Senior HSC supervisor Mrs Kathleen Jones and particularly Miss Kelie Munro who has guided the entire process for Year 12 students. Ms Munro also serves the students of NSW as the Chief Examiner for Food Technology for the next 3 years. Thanks to all.
As we celebrate 20 years in 2020 there will be additional programs and opportunities for all students next year. Academic results continue to improve and our student wellbeing programs continue to grow. Please pray for the work of the College and for our new Leadership Team.
The Administration and Health Clinic renovation is on track to completion early in the new year and we have a new project to go ahead across the vacation period under the Rawdon Middleton PEC. This work will also include additional car parking and the completion of roadworks on Flynn Avenue.
Thank you for your continued support of the College. The dates for end of year activities are listed for your information in this edition of The Way.
