Dear Parents and Carers,

As we draw close to the end of another busy week and indeed a very busy term, I would like to congratulate Year 11 on their commitment and effort with their examinations which conclude today. For those in Year 11 studying the HSC, this marks the end of their preliminary course, and they commence Year 12 work after the holidays.

Congratulations to our Year 12 Music students who completed their HSC practicals this week. Their performances have been stunning.

Next week also mark the final week for Year 12 classes, where there are a number of celebrations throughout the week, including the Boarders’ Valedictory Dinner on Monday, the TAS Showcase evening on Tuesday and the Valedictory Assembly and Dinner on Friday. I hope our Year 12 students enjoy these events and the last week of classes with their friends.

This weekend sees the Cranbrook invitation Athletics Carnival at ES Marks. This a normal invitational carnival for our athletes and it is Cranbrook’s turn to host; we look forward to a successful and smooth-running day. Thank you to our Sports staff.

Next Thursday is the CAS Athletics Championships at Homebush. I would like to wish our selected athletes the very best in this high-level competition that is supported by students in their thousands. A reminder that Year 7, 9, 11 and Prefects will also be in attendance to support our athletes who have worked so hard. A reminder that the dress code for our spectators is full School uniform, including their blazer.

Have a wonderful week.

Best wishes,

Bob Meakin
