Last night we held our final Parent Teacher night for 2020.
This was again held on Zoom. It has been an interesting concept to introduce throughout this year and we have found it to work quite well. We will be examining ways moving forward to continue incorporating the various online platforms when delivering information. We have found that it has been convenient and given options for many parents over this time.
COVID-19 continues to be on our minds particularly with our local area continuing as a hotspot. Here at the College we remain vigilant with our processes but remain thankful that we have not had a case. The HSC Examinations will conclude on Wednesday and these have run smoothly with no major disruptions. We look forward to celebrating with the Class of 2020 next Thursday at their graduation. Monday is a pupil free day, staff will be onsite working on reports and spending time planning for 2021.
With so many cancellations and restrictions regarding events and programs across the College this year, we are very excited to introduce Illuminate Online, a wonderful new website that our talented Thomas Hassall team have been working on in the background. This website beautifully presents our Year 12 Major Works, which is the culmination of 12 to 18 months of research, skill development and production, in a range of disciplines across the HSC landscape. These subjects include: Music, Drama, Art, Industrial Technology Timber, Design & Technology, English Extension 2 and History Extension. All of these subjects require a practical project that typically involves many numbers of hours and a great deal of skill to develop and create. This new website allows you to access the individual work of students, their performances or final major work for you to enjoy. A special thankyou to Mr Michael Clisdell, Mr Peter Ford, Miss Lara Popovic, and Mr Domenic Stambe for their courage and skill at taking on such a project amidst a very busy schedule of activities. We will launch the site on Wednesday. Please make sure you visit the virtual rooms and get a glimpse of the student's hard work.
"I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High."
