From the Head of Senior School

It was a big week for Year 12, returning from their Trial Examination block, receiving their Year 12 jerseys and also their commemorative books from the P&F Committee. There is lots of talk about their Valedictory, graduation and all the ‘lasts’ and we are so excited to celebrate alongside them as they complete such a special chapter.

A particular highlight this week was the Visual Art and Technology HSC and IB showcase – the talent on show seems to get better every year! Thank you to Sally Marks, Head of Department – Visual Arts, Renee Willemsen, Head of Technological and Applied Studies (TAS) and all the Year 12 teachers for their incredible support of the girls.

Our Year 11 students are completing their Preliminary Examinations this week which is an important stage in their journey toward Year 12. I have been so impressed with their application and study habits. Most of all, they are looking after each other which is so lovely.

This week has seen students supporting one another through Peer Support and there have also been some excellent Academic Care presentations; thank you to David Posker-Hill, Academic Care Coordinator, and Marianna Carlino, Director of eLearning for an excellent presentation to Year 10 on being aware of the implications and eSafety measures associated with ‘Deep fakes’.

Our School Tour Day this week went particularly well, despite the rain. Our Year 10 and Year 11 girls did a great job as tour guides as they always do.
