Year 11

Ms Emily Mattick
Leader of Wellbeing – Year 11

It’s been a busy term for Year 11 at Marist College Eastwood!

First and foremost, congratulations to our 2027 Student Leadership Team who were announced this term. These students were appointed to their roles following an extensive process which included self-nomination, addressing their peers and staff and subsequent voting from their cohort and teachers. The leaders stood before the College for the first time at the Malloy Cup Award Assembly and as is custom, led their peers in the singing of the Sub Tuum. We look forward to seeing the initiatives brought forward not only by the leadership team but the entirety of the year group over the coming twelve months, as they serve our community with strong minds and gentle hearts.

In the middle of Term 3, Year 11 completed their Preliminary Examinations. This gave them valuable experience with navigating an assessment period similar to the Trials and HSC, particularly regarding developing their time management and study skills. Students have now received comprehensive feedback from their teachers in order to help them best refine their knowledge and skills in each subject as they move towards Year 12.  

After an examination block spent hitting the books, Year 11 hit the road at their RYDA excursion to learn all about becoming safer drivers. As many of the students work towards achieving their Provisional Licences, becoming responsible road users is front of mind. Through a series of fun interactive workshops, students learnt about how to minimise risk on the road by making informed choices as both drivers and passengers. 

Wishing Year 11 and their families a safe, relaxing and happy holiday break before they return to school for the commencement of their HSC year.
