Year 11 Leader of Wellbeing

Ms Linda Burland

Term 3 represented a significant milestone for our Year 11 cohort, marking the conclusion of their Preliminary academic studies. With the completion of their Preliminary examinations, students are now formally transitioning into their final year of secondary education, setting the stage for their Higher School Certificate (HSC) journey.

A highlight of the term was the RYDA Road Safety Program excursion, which provided students with a valuable and immersive learning experience. Through a series of interactive workshops, students engaged with critical topics such as responsible driving, risk awareness and informed decision-making. This initiative not only reinforced the importance of road safety but also encouraged students to reflect on their responsibilities as future drivers.

One of the most eagerly anticipated events of the term was the announcement of the 2026 Year 12 Leadership Team. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to William D, who has been appointed College Captain and to Peter I and Jack K, who will serve as Vice Captains. These leadership appointments were formally acknowledged during the Malloy Cup Assembly, a celebratory event that also recognised individual student achievements and fostered a strong sense of house spirit. The Malloy Cup Assembly marked the culmination of the school’s sporting and academic calendar, generating much excitement with the announcement of the winning house. The event served as a vibrant celebration of teamwork, perseverance and school pride.

In a display of leadership and maturity, Year 11 students played a key role in supporting the Year 12 Graduation Assembly, honouring the outgoing senior class and contributing to a memorable farewell. Their involvement reflected the growing sense of responsibility and community spirit within the cohort. The term will conclude with a Planning Day, during which students will engaged in reflective activities and goal-setting exercises. This day provides an opportunity for students to evaluate their academic and personal growth, and to establish clear intentions as they prepare to enter their HSC year.

I commend our Year 11 students for their dedication, resilience and emerging leadership. Their achievements this term have laid a strong foundation for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
