From the Assistant Principal

This week as a community our students engaged in the Annual Athletics Carnival at Homebush. The day showcased the gifts and talents of so many of our athletes. It was also great to see so many girls participating in all events across the day. There were times when the grandstand seemed empty with almost all students on the track running, completing field events or overseeing the hospitality of the event, timekeeping, judging, recording or running the field event. I would like to congratulate all students for their community spirit and commitment to this significant College event.

I also thank the staff who also showed significant support and organisation of the event in particular, Ms Kemp and Ms Hurley. I look forward to celebrating the successes that the day brought.

COMPASS Student Card

It is a College expectation that all students have their COMPASS student ID card with them everyday. The card is used in particular for students to tap in and out of the College for late arrival or early departure. I ask for the support of parents in ensuring that your daughter/s have this with them everyday.  If students have misplaced or lost their student ID card it is a requirement that the card is replaced. Please see below for how to order a new card online.

A gentle reminder that on  Wednesday 24 March Dr Prue Salter of Enhanced Learning Educational Services (www.enhanced-learning.net) will be conducting the 90-minute session from 6:30pm-8:00pm LIVE ON ZOOM (link to be sent on the day via COMPASS). Please refer to COMPASS news feeds.

Some of the areas covered are:

  • Organisational skills and managing time more effectively.
  • Making study notes that work (including mind maps, linear note-taking).
  • Studying effectively (making your study more efficient and suitable for the way in which you learn best).
