When this edition of the Way becomes available, I will be out in God’s beautiful wilderness somewhere in Galston with a large enthusiastic group of Year 9's on the Bronze hike for the Duke of Edinburgh program.
What a wonderful way to come together as a team through some adversity and adventure! Students will learn many valuable lessons throughout the journey about resilience, self-belief, teamwork, navigation, food preparation and countless more. We are praying for good weather and safe travels!
More of our Year 12 classes were put through their paces this week with external HSC markers reviewing the Music 1 and 2 and the Design and Technology classes performances and major works. We would do well to consider the confronting nature of being judged whilst performing or handing over your work for the final time to have it inspected and judged. Countless hours have gone into these major works and we are so proud of our Year 12s and what they have been able to achieve. It was exciting this week to receive word that one of our Drama students, Caleb T has received an ‘On Stage’ nomination for performing one of the best Individual Performances in the state. Congratulations to Caleb on this fine achievement!
With Graduation on Friday of next week, Year 12s will find themselves on Study Vacation to prepare for the HSC examinations. The College is supporting the group by providing a Study Camp each day of the first week of the holidays on campus. This has been a really valuable resource for Year 12 students each year in establishing excellent study habits that can be carried through right up to and during their final exams. Many staff will also visit during the week to answer questions which is greatly appreciated and just another wonderful example of the willingness our staff have to assist their students in so many ways. Can I please encourage all Year 12s to sign up and make the most of this incredible opportunity!
Enjoy the last of the Term.
