I am so grateful to write to you as we approach the middle of Term 3. It is hard to believe the Year 10 cohort only have 75 school days left before they are entering their Senior years. I hope the pathway conversations that were had during our SET Plan meetings were able to offer some clarity and support our Year 10 students to set some goals or targets for the remainder of the year. Please continue to support your child in their aspirations to work towards these goals and reach out of us at the College if we can do anything to support. 

Year 10 Updates

• A reminder that Week 10 (9-13 September) is a non-school week for our Year 10 cohort. A large number of students will be headed off to camp or for our 2nd round of work experience. Please ensure your child has made arrangements for this week. If they wish to book in Work Experience, they must come and see our Industry Liason Officer, Miss George, ASAP. She can be located in the Library.
• We would like to remind all of our students that we expect all of our students to comply with the Uniform Policy. We have noticed an escalation in non-compliance with hair, make up, jewellery and jumpers. 
• A reminder that we are an electronic device free school and this extends to mobile phones, larger devices, air pods (or other headphones) and smart watches. These should not come to school or should be kept in a safe place, out of sight, during the day. 

Pedagogy Updates

As we continue our work in the space to review our pedagogical approaches, I will be extending an invitation to hear from our students. I will be seeking student input over the coming weeks to ask them how they like to Learn and what good quality teaching means to them. I will also be seeking their input around our digital pedagogies to ensure we are utilising their laptops to achieve excellence together. If you child wishes to be involved with these feedback, please encourage them to keep an eye on Daymap notices or speak with Mrs Reeves when I visit their classrooms.
