Senior School

As I reflect on another busy term, I must congratulate the vast majority of students who have commenced the year with a clear commitment to achieving personal success and being great citizens of the school.

Initial Highlights Term 1:

Year 12 Ball
University Tour presentation
Elevate Study Skills workshops
Transitioning into Senior School life

Semester 1 examinations commence in Week 6 of Term 2. ATAR and ECU Prep students are encouraged to access resources that have and will be provided by the Senior School Team (via Connect) and teaching staff.

All students and parents are again reminded to check Connect on a regular basis to access key information and support resources.

As Term 2 commences, my initial focus will be a review of student achievement and I will be having many conversations with students to celebrate achievements and to support required improvements!

The “transition phase” now comes to an end and all students should have developed appropriate routines, both in and outside of school, that focus on achieving the best possible academic and behavioural outcomes.

I strongly encourage all students to refer to the Senior School Annual Award Criteria document, now on Connect, and set appropriate academic goals for the end of the year. Philosophically, striving to be the “best” student and person possible is a non-negotiable!

“If it is to be, it is up to ME!”

Have a wonderful holiday and we (Senior School Team) look forward to an even more successful Term 2!
