We have reached the final week of Term 3 and with another Year 12 Graduation event set down for Friday, we have reached an important milestone for the year. One hundred and fifty Year 12 Graduates will be celebrated this week, in front of parents and family members. They will have a short study break before the Higher School Certificate exams begin on Wednesday 11 October and conclude in the first week of November. We wish them all every success as they undertake the final step of their school journey. The last week for Year 12 is always a very special one which includes a Prayer breakfast and the "Hassall Gift’, our House relay race for students from Prep to Year 12.
Junior School students have had a very special fortnight also, with a Book Week parade; a Kindergarten Teddy Bears Picnic; a special Year 5 Passion Project event and several assemblies where individual student achievements have been recognised. Our Athletics program continues at the CIS Carnival next week, and a special congratulations to Samuel Isaac in year 3 who received the Minister for Education Excellence Award recently, for his language skills and ability.
The College community devoted time to reflect on mental health issues in the R U OK program last week, and Senior School students raised funds for this important project.
Our building program on Flynn Avenue continues next term. Once the N Block Anne Marsden Pavilion is completed over the break, we will commence the new STEM – Maths, Science and TAS Building where ‘J Block’ now stands. Traffic flows will be modified as previously noted, and we will bring further communication to you shortly.
Thanks so much for your continued support, especially as we approach the holiday period.
