Year 10

It is hard to believe we are nearly at the end of Term 3. Year 10 had a busy start to the week tackling several assessment tasks. They managed their time well, stayed positive, and worked through a demanding schedule with maturity and resilience. I am proud of how they growing as learners. Learning to juggle competing demands is a vital part of their development, and it’s great to see them rising to the challenge.

On Tuesday, we were lucky to have Andrew Taylor, Deputy Head of Senior School – Wellbeing, and a Police Youth Officer speak with Year 10 about online safety, and in particular AI and deepfakes. It was an engaging and important session that highlighted the need for open communication with trusted adults. As parents and carers, maintaining these conversations at home is key to supporting our young people in navigating the digital world safely.

To round off the week, we had the Senior School House Athletics Carnival on Thursday. Year 10s energy, enthusiasm, and support for one another was great to see. Participation in school events help strengthen the bonds within the cohort and provide opportunities for fun and connection beyond the classroom. Well done Year 10!
