Year 10 students have hit the ground running this term as they begin to seriously consider the next phase of their learning journey and prepare for their mid-course examinations. It has been particularly encouraging to hear about the diverse and rewarding experiences students had during their work experience placements at the end of Term 1, with many discovering a passion for their chosen industries.
The College continues to provide a wide range of opportunities and support for our Year 10 students as they explore potential future pathways, whether continuing their education at the College or venturing into the broader community. Ms Michelle Raft and I had the pleasure of conducting one-on-one Morrisby interviews with each student, where we discussed the results of the aptitude and interest testing completed at the end of Term 1. These conversations offered valuable insights into each student’s strengths, interests, and aspirations, and we thoroughly enjoyed learning more about this impressive cohort.
We strongly encourage all parents to review the Morrisby report with their child and explore the online resources available to help further refine the results. This collaborative process can greatly support students in making informed decisions about their future. Information on the Morrisby report and a link to webinar have been sent via email to support you in using this resource.
Complementing the Morrisby program was Thomas Hassall Anglican College’s first on-campus Careers Expo. Students had the opportunity to engage with representatives from universities, TAFEs, and a range of industries, gaining valuable information to assist in subject selection and planning for tertiary education pathways. We would like to acknowledge the outstanding effort and organisation that went into these two events and extend our sincere thanks to our Careers Advisor, Mrs Maha Ghabrial, for providing these valuable experiences for our Year 10 students.
Thank you to all families who attended our Subject Selection Evening. It was a pleasure to meet with you and discuss the subjects available in Years 11 and 12. We hope the evening was informative and has helped you feel confident and well-equipped to support your child in the next stage of their academic journey.
Finally, as the colder weather sets in, we’d like to remind families that we have now moved into winter uniform. Information regarding the winter uniform can be found on the College website.

Year 10 Advisor
