Year 10
This week in our Year Meeting, we launched the chance for Year 10 to step into a leadership role by self-nominating to become a Luminary Representative for Term 3. This role is a fantastic way for them to practice applying for leadership positions (which the current Year 11s are in the process of doing), contribute to leading Year 10 pastoral care activities, and help foster an inclusive and positive culture within the year group. I really encourage all interested students to consider this opportunity seriously—it’s a great way to develop skills that will benefit them beyond school.
On Thursday, our Year 10 students participated in a workshop run by Elephant Ed. Elephant Ed delivers engaging programs designed to promote student well-being, resilience, and positive decision-making. Their workshops focus on building emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and practical strategies for managing peer relationships. I hope your daughter found this session helpful and walked away with concrete strategies for navigating relationships positively and safely.
Next week promises to be an exciting time. On Wednesday evening, we will hold our Subject Selection Evening, where you and your daughter can gain insights into the curriculum and future pathways. Then on Friday afternoon, Year 10 students will attend the Subject Selection Expo. I highly encourage you to have a meaningful conversation with your daughter about her interests and goals ahead of the Subject Selection Expo. It’s helpful for her to write down any questions she has so she can make the most of the expo and gather all the information she needs to make informed decisions about her subject choices.
The following will be in place for any student requiring adjustments to support their participation in the Subject Selection Expo.
- Room SC101 will be available for students needing a quiet, alternate space to review information
- A staff member from the Learning Enhancement Department will be available in room SC101 to support any students who presents
- A second staff member from the Learning Enhancement Department will be available during Expo for any specific questions about reasonable adjustments.
- A map of the stands will be provided before the day
Thank you for your ongoing support in helping your daughter navigate this important stage of her education.
