\"\"It was a delight to attend Groove at Club Burwood RSL on Tuesday evening and to witness the extraordinary talent and dedication of our musicians. A special highlight for me was seeing our Year 12 students take to the stage with such confidence, skill and passion, sharing the results of years of hard work and inspiring those Junior students who follow in their footsteps.<\/p>\n

We welcomed Jo Cilia, <\/strong>Head of Futures and Pathways, back from leave at a presentation providing key updates on all things university applications, admissions pathways and post-school opportunities for our Year 12 students. She guided students through the important Term 3 milestones, including UAC applications, early entry and alternative admission schemes, scholarships, Educational Access Schemes (EAS), portfolio pathways and overseas applications, highlighting the many pathways available beyond a single ATAR outcome. The presentation reinforced the importance of staying organised, monitoring key deadlines and seeking support from the Futures and Pathways team as students take the next steps towards their future study and career aspirations.<\/p>\n

At this week\u2019s Year 12 Chapel Service, students reflected on Jesus\u2019 Parable of the Sower, considering what values, habits and attitudes they are allowing to take root as they prepare for their Trial Examinations. The service encouraged students to balance focus and hard work with perspective, rest and self-compassion, reminding them that their worth extends far beyond any academic result.<\/p>\n

As Year 12 students commence their Trial Examinations this coming Monday, I know many families will be supporting them through the inevitable mix of nerves, pressure and lengthy study days. Thank you for the care and encouragement you provide at home; we wish our students all the best and hope they are kind to themselves over the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

Now, just a small touch of logistics, students have been advised to arrive at school at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each examination and to make their way directly to the examination room for roll marking\/attendance. If your daughter is unwell and unable to attend an examination, please notify the Curriculum Office and Studies Office as soon as possible so that we can provide advice regarding the processes and support available.<\/p>\n

We wish all of Year 12 the very best for their examinations over the coming two weeks and look forward to their return to classes on Tuesday 18 August 2026<\/strong> (Week 5).\u00a0<\/p>\n
