Year 10
Ms Linda Burland
Leader of Wellbeing – Year 10
Year 10 have enjoyed a very busy first term and have now started the senior stage of their schooling and understand the importance of this year which sets the stage for their future.
One of the most important events held during the term was the Subject Selection Evening. They paid great attention to the information and guidance offered and now fully understand the requirements to complete each subject for the HSC. The advantage of holding this event in Term 1 is that it gives our students maximum time to think about their subject choices. Looking to the future, the boys also started preparing for work experience later in the year and set their personal goals, detailing what they wish to achieve during this year.
Year 10 most definitely enjoy their sport and this term provided them with many opportunities to involve themselves in a variety of sporting events. These included the College Swimming Carnival and Sydney Catholic Schools sport, in particular basketball, water polo and touch football. This particular cohort have a wonderful community spirit and this was exemplified in their conscientious efforts during Open Day preparations and their role as ambassadors during the event itself.
They have also been involved in the religious dimension of the College with their involvement in the Opening School Mass, Stations of the Cross and the Easter liturgy where their participation was excellent. During our Fundraising pastoral lesson all students were involved and gave generously raising $1000.00 for Caritas Australia. I would like to thank the Year 10 leaders for their leadership in this area. Their concerted efforts in goal-setting and assessment reflection indicates a commitment to continuous improvement and self-awareness, hallmarks of a mature and discerning senior student.
