The last term has flown past (along with the holidays), and we are left with seven weeks until it\u2019s all over. The departure of Year 12 has set off a vast game of musical chairs as students jockey for coveted seating areas at recess and lunch and every group in the school starts thinking about the year they will be graduating into, moving into new classrooms, sports teams, choirs, bands and Leadership positions.<\/p>\n

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award program is also experiencing transitions as many participants are preparing to advance to the next level of the Award. Bronze students are setting their sights on Silver, while Silver completers are gearing up for the challenge of Gold. Year 11 and 12 Gold completers who have finished their Adventurous Journeys are now in “logging” mode, finalising activities and chasing up Assessor reports. Year 8 students can anticipate joining this enriching program following their assessment period, where they will learn about its benefits during a Year Meeting.<\/p>\n
