It was wonderful to see our graduated Year 12 students return to the College to begin their HSC examinations yesterday. There were the usual nerves, but many students indicated that they were well prepared and optimistic. It has been pleasing to hear how many of our students have been offered tertiary course invitations through the early entry programs from the major universities which allows them to approach these exams with an additional level of confidence.
The announcement of our new student leadership team at our Assembly this week was received very warmly by the student body that they will be leading for this coming year. What a high character group they are! I look forward to the ideas and enthusiasm they will bring. I am looking forward to the upcoming Year 12 dedication service where we share with families in bringing the entire cohort and their futures before the Lord. It is always a very special event in letting our new Year 12s know of the support team they have around them as they enter their final year of schooling!
For our Year 7 – 10 students, revision for final exams has begun in earnest. Many students are taking advantage of the Study Centre for getting some additional assistance from the excellent tutors, which in addition to the teacher led revision in classes and their home revision schedules, should really provide a thorough platform for demonstrating their knowledge and expertise in their finals.
As always, there is a full suite of extracurricular opportunities available for students to partake in this term. I am excited about the new Stem opportunities available in both lunchtime clubs and in Sport time. Our Sports Academy continues to have a plethora of options available for students wishing to pursue their passions with expert coaching. Please encourage your children to seek out these opportunities to enrich their College journey!
