From the Head of Senior School
It was another busy week in the Kate Mason Building – Senior Centre!
Our Year 11 students returned from their retreat fresh and ready to learn. In their time away they have learnt some valuable skills in leadership, empowerment and have gained an insight into their motivators.
The Senior School House Prefects and leaders led both swimming carnivals with great enthusiasm and a tremendous sense of house spirit! Congratulations to all those involved – all the senior students dressed in wonderfully colourful clothes and truly led the way, inspiring their younger peers to get involved and give it a go.
Year 11 Parent Information Evening 2024
Many thanks to everyone who attended the Year 11 Information Evening on Tuesday this week. I do understand that this was not possible for everyone, so please click here to view the recording of the information session.
Mentoring
A reminder that we have also now formally launched the Senior School mentoring program to both Years 11 and 12. Students in both years have been invited to sign up for this voluntary program if they are interested – many Year 12 girls are continuing with their mentors from last year. I would really encourage all students to take this opportunity to invest in themselves.
Year 11 Formal and Year 12 Social
A reminder that tickets are still on sale for both the Year 11 Formal and Year 12 Social. Please find all ticket information for the respective event on the MyPymble parent portal.
