Assistant Principal – Karen Shawcross
It has been wonderful to welcome all students back for Term 2, refreshed and motivated for another exciting period of learning. I am certain that they all had a relaxing break with family and friends.
Winter Uniform Commences in Week 4
Please be advised that the full winter uniform is compulsory starting next week, Week 4.
- Blazers must be worn to and from school.
- For extra warmth, the jumper may be worn under the blazer but should not be worn as a replacement for the blazer.
- College scarf may be worn with the College Blazer to and from school.
I appreciate the students’ commitment to wearing their uniforms well and expect this high standard to continue.
College Assembly
Term 2 has begun with outstanding sporting and academic achievements, recently showcased at our College Assembly. I was thrilled to note that nearly 200 girls were involved in the variety of areas highlighted. At the end of the assembly I challenged every student to get involved in at least one college activity this term. Opportunities include assisting with debating, volunteering to attend Stella Maris during sport time, or participating in the musical, to name a few.
House Competition
Baggot House is currently leading the house points competition. The Athletics Carnival will be a fantastic opportunity for all students to earn points for their houses through participation and cheering. The challenge is for other houses to catch Baggot.
Open Learning/Homework Club
Every Tuesday and Wednesday there is dedicated support sessions in the Catherine Centre to assist students with their studies, upcoming assessments, and collaborative work. In addition to teachers providing support, we have three students who completed the HSC in 2025 available to assist during the Period 5 study lessons and after school on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
- Wednesday Homework Club: This is held every Wednesday from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm for any student seeking extra assistance or a dedicated study space.
- Tuesday and Wednesday Senior Study: The Catherine Centre is also open on Tuesday afternoons until 4:00 pm specifically for senior students.
