From the Leader of Learning and Curriculum

It has been a big term, and it is important that students take time over the Easter break to recharge for Term 2. Importantly, the Easter period offers us an opportunity to reflect on the Resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday and hope for new life.

According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”- 1 Peter 1:3.

I strongly encourage our Year 12 students to follow the advice provided by Ms Bowland, Leader of Wellbeing, regarding maintaining study momentum in her article. I also encourage students to look at their Google Classrooms and engage with the skills-based workshops presented as part of the FLEX Program earlier in the term.

Student Leave of Absence

I encourage all parents and carers to be aware of the College’s policy around assessments and a student’s leave of absence.

• While leave from school may be approved, leave for assessments scheduled during the leave period will only be granted in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Principal.
• A student on approved leave must submit hand-in tasks by the due date, either prior to going on leave or by electronic submission without penalty. In-class tasks or exams will not be rescheduled and the student will receive a zero mark if tasks are not submitted.
• A student on unapproved leave must submit hand-in tasks by the due date, either prior to going on leave or by electronic submission without penalty. In-class tasks or exams will not be rescheduled and the student will receive a zero mark if tasks are not submitted.
