Year 12

Below is a summary from the speech I delivered to parents and carers on Wednesday evening during the Year 12 Parent Information session: 

This week it was fantastic to see the Year 12 student-devised motto of ‘Spirit Strong, 26 On’ embodied. Paired with our shared focus that every lesson counts, this mindset has already been evident in lessons and independent study, House experiences and initiatives, Chapel services and Luminary time, as students balance academic focus with leadership, positive relationships and personal growth.

As many students and parents would have discussed during Wednesday’s parent teacher interviews, over the coming weeks, students are encouraged to remain steady in their routines and proactive in their organisation. The Assessment Calendar is available to students via Canvas and parents via Omnia, and families are encouraged to keep a copy visible at home. In preparation for the Year 12 Examination Block in Weeks 8–9, students should be working carefully towards upcoming checkpoints. HSC students will continue progress check‑ins on major works and related tasks, while IB students are completing EE reflections following supervisor meetings and preparing key performances, HL essays and submissions. 

Week 5 also marked an important leadership moment, with Year 12 students playing a key role in the Cadet Unit Establishment Parade this week. Congratulations girls!

This term is about consistency, resilience and balance. With strong pastoral support from teachers, Luminaries, Heads of House and mentors, we look forward to supporting every student as they build momentum toward the examination period and beyond.
