The assessment schedule for 2026 is available on Canvas and we\u2019ve encouraged Year 10 to set up their study space, print off the schedule and use the term calendar in their school diary to record their tasks. Using a diary (paper or digital) is essential for the girls to feel in control and reduce the cognitive load of having to manage their workload.<\/p>\n<p>Peer Support training continued Thursday with the second group preparing to lead activities with Year 7. We have had an outstanding group of students who have volunteered their time to develop their leadership skills as future mentors for Year 7.<\/p>\n<p>Careers Profile interviews will begin on <strong>Friday 20 February 2026<\/strong> and conclude on<strong> Tuesday 3 March 2026.<\/strong> An email with booking details has been sent to all of Year 10. The meetings are on Teams and parents are encouraged to attend.
