What a beautiful Mothers' Day Breakfast we had together this morning! It was so wonderful to see Senior Students looking after their mums and being able to speak with so many families. I hope your children are able to show how much they appreciate you over the weekend.
It has been an exciting time for Year 10 students after meeting with some of our key staff to discuss the Morrisby Test they have undertaken to give them ideas around their strengths and possible career pathways. I have heard great things about these discussions and many students were really pleased to find that their interests and strengths aligned so well. We eagerly await the Careers Expo on Friday 16 May for students in Years 10 - 12 to explore and ask questions of so many great providers. Have a good chat with your children about who they plan to visit and get more information from!
It was a pleasure to attend our Senior Assembly today where we were able to celebrate the achievements of our students at the recent Athletics Carnival. Congratulations to all those record-breakers and age champions, and to Lewis House for winning overall. We were blessed to hear from students recently returned from our Japanese Tour and they articulated so well the joys and the challenges of travelling in another country. The fantastic photos and hearing about them grappling with the language they are learning at College in its real life context was exactly what we would hope for! This year our student leadership team have been often giving the main address in the Assembly and Mia, our Vice Captain, did so wonderfully well in discussing where she finds her motivation for the different areas of her life and she was able to impart some great advice to the rest of the students.
Have a fabulous Mother's Day weekend and I look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming Subject Selection evening for Years 8 and 10 students and families.
