Term 4 is upon us already! It feels as though the year is rushing by and all too soon we will be enjoying Christmas vacation.  Before we get there, we have a wealth of key events planned. 

Mental Health Week:

During Week 2 of Term 4, Ripley Valley SSC will be celebrating Mental Health Week. Queensland Mental Health Week (QMHW) is an annual awareness week that aims to shine a spotlight on individual and community mental health and wellbeing.  Students will have an opportunity to engage in a range of events throughout the week, culminating in the Wellbeing Expo on Thursday 13^th of October. Look out for daily notices for further information.

Awards Evening:

As one of the key events in the school calendar, Awards Evening offers us an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the academic, community, sporting and cultural achievements of our students. The event will be held on Wednesday the 19^th October in the Raptordome from 6pm. Students who are receiving awards will be notified in the coming days and invitations will be sent home to parents and carers. Lists of Gold Raptor Award winners have also been published in the Library for students to cross check.

Transition Days and Orientation Day:

Throughout this Term we will be working with our feeder Primary Schools and offering our future students the chance to experience High School. This will include visits to various State Schools in the region as well as our Year 6 Orientation Day, which will be held at Ripley Valley SSC on Friday the 2^nd December. Information about this event will be disseminated closer to the date.
