Year 11

It was wonderful to see so many families at the Year 11 Parent/Teacher Interviews on Thursday evening. I hope the conversations provided you with clear insight into your daughter’s progress, along with meaningful feedback to guide her next steps. These evenings play an important role in strengthening our partnership with families, ensuring we work collaboratively to support each student’s learning and help her to achieve her best. Should you have any further questions following the interviews, please do not hesitate to contact your daughter’s class teacher.

In our Year Meeting on Tuesday, Fiona Pow, Head of Students Year 10 to Year 12, spoke with the Year 11 students about the effective use of their study periods. There continues to be a need for students to arrive promptly, sign in with the correct supervising teachers and use this time purposefully. As we move through the midpoint of the term, the effective use of study periods is increasingly important to ensure students are well prepared for upcoming assessment tasks. I look forward to seeing Year 11 continue to take greater responsibility for using this time to consolidate learning and engage in focused study.

On Wednesday, Year 11 joined with Year 10 for our weekly Chapel service. A special mention to Ava McLean, Chloe Nguyen and Charlotte Djamhur, who performed as part of the Chapel band alongside Year 12 students. The singing was outstanding, and it was a joy to hear the girls singing together as a combined year group.

Pastor Luisa also shared a powerful and timely message around respecting our bodies, encouraging self-kindness and appreciation. This is an important message for our Year 11 students as they navigate the academic and personal demands of Senior School.
