Year 10

Year 10

This week we announced our 2026 Year 11 SRC Members. A huge congratulations to Anika Gupta, Lily Smith, and Isabel Warusavitarne on their appointment. As a year group, we are thrilled to see what they will bring to this important leadership role, and I know they will make a meaningful difference in our School community.

It is finally here! The beginning of the Immersion Program and our much-anticipated camp to Foster, starting this Monday. This experience will offer the girls a valuable opportunity to grow in independence, connect with one another, unwind, and hopefully step outside their comfort zones and try something new. It has been lovely to witness their excitement build as the departure day draws near, and I know we are all looking forward to the week ahead.

A few important reminders:

  • Students are to meet at Kent House at 7am on Monday morning.
  • No devices are to be brought on this trip. Please ensure all phones, laptops, and iPads are left at home.
  • Kindly review the packing list carefully and make sure your daughter has everything she needs.
  • Don’t forget to pack the Immersion Journal, shopping bags, and containers for food.
  • Students will need to bring their own food on Monday for the trip to Foster.

We are looking forward to an amazing time away and can’t wait to share the memories and stories with you all at the end of the trip.

An important issue for all our community to understand is the upcoming social media delay. There is a lot more detail about this in the Principal’s article in this issue, click here to read.

Also in this week’s newsletter you will find a virtual pinboard, developed by our Director of eLearning, Marianna Carlino, with up to date information outlining the details of this upcoming social media delay. The pinboard includes comprehensive information about the implementation process, including resources and support materials.  Click here to view the pinboard. This initiative will impact many Year 10 students who are under 16 years and currently have social media accounts. The purpose of the delay is to foster a safer online environment, and we encourage all parents to engage in open discussions with their daughters about the rationale behind this change.
