Year 10 Report

Ms Emily Mattick

This term, Year 10 has demonstrated remarkable engagement and leadership, embracing every opportunity with enthusiasm and commitment. Their journey reflects a blend of academic growth, extracurricular involvement and meaningful preparation for their future.

In a display of mentorship and leadership, Year 10 students welcomed the incoming Year 7 cohort taking on the vital role of Peer Support leaders. Their guidance has undoubtedly helped the younger students settle into their new environment, fostering a sense of community within the College. This leadership opportunity not only benefits the Year 7 students but also allows Year 10 to develop key skills, including communication, empathy and responsibility.

As they approach the senior years, Year 10 has started exploring subject options for Year 11 and Year 12. This important process involves careful consideration of their interests, strengths and aspirations, engaging thoughtfully in this decision making process. With the assistance of Mrs Bianchi, Year 10 students have also begun preparations for work experience with some students going out on work experience during this term. Through insightful discussions and planning, they are learning about the professional world, gaining valuable insights into various industries and identifying pathways that align with their goals. Mrs Bianchi has also made it possible for select Year 10 students to participate in YES TAFE courses, where students experience TAFE one day each week for a period of time in areas they may be interested in. We are very grateful for all of the work Mrs Bianchi has put into supporting Year 10.

The Year 10 students also continue to engage in all areas of the College including initiatives such as Project Compassion, leading our St Vincent de Paul Society group and in public speaking, debating, music, chess and MCE TV. Year 10 also continue to make their mark in sport representing the College across a range of sports, including basketball, swimming, touch football and European handball. Despite the less-than-ideal weather on the day, the swimming carnival showcased Year 10’s enthusiastic spirit. Their participation exemplified their commitment to College life and their ability to embrace challenges with positivity. 

As the term draws to a close, Year 10 can be proud of their achievements and contributions. They exemplify the College’s values, displaying leadership, resilience and a drive for growth in all they do.
