Year 12

Congratulations to Genevieve Beattie, Sienna Christodoulou, Crystal Huang, Siena Jury, Ava Roins and Carina Savoca on their win as members of the CIS Football team. The girls were impressive in their 5–2 victory over All Saints Grammar Belmore on Monday.

On Thursday, students from Year 11 and Year 12 attended the Careers Expo at Randwick Racecourse. Students were able to engage with targeted workshops for HSC study and meet with a range of exhibitors exploring post school and University pathways. Thank you to our Careers Department for again providing another rich opportunity for students to consider their lives and experiences beyond school. 

Supervised Senior Study Periods

In recent weeks, I have noticed an increase in students being signed out early because they have ‘no classes’. As outlined in the Student Guide on Omnia, Supervised Senior Study Periods include all timetabled periods with an allocated room and teacher. These sessions provide valuable time for students to work alongside their peers, seek feedback and support from teachers, and maintain a focused study routine. Your support in encouraging students to remain at school for these supervised study periods is greatly appreciated.

Reminder from the Health Centre

Our nurses would like to remind Year 12 students that, during busy periods of academic preparation, it is important to look after yourselves. In particular, please stay hydrated throughout the day and look to prioritise getting a good night’s sleep so you can start each day feeling rested and refreshed.

This week the Senior Years Production performed their first show for an audience of Year 7. Teachers in attendance reported that the show is fantastic and that the Year 12 cast all shine. Congratulations to all staff and students involved – I am so looking forward to seeing the play next week!

Tonight our Senior A debaters are competing in the ISDA Grand Final against Knox at St Joseph’s College and we hope to see a big crowd from the cohort in support! The team made up of Amelia Tchan, Elena Tulloch, Elena Sun, Jordan Vo and Harriet Hahn have already achieved so much in this highly contested competition and we wish them the best of luck!
