DEPUTY PRINCIPAL – ACADEMIC

Welcome back to our students and their parents and families.  I hope over the holiday period you were able to take rest, spend some time together and refresh before we embark on a new term of learning.  In the last week of Term 1, Interim Reports were distributed.  While these only included behaviour and work ethic results, this is a valuable time to reflect on progress in specific subjects and set new goals before formal reports, that include subject results, are distributed this term for all year levels. 

As part of the feedback process, the College held Academic Conference meetings in both Week 1, Term 2 and again in Week 3, Term 2.  If students and parents are unable to attend Academic Conferences, the Student Reflection Booklet is a valuable tool to reflect on Term 1, and allows students to continue to strive for new goals in Term 2 and beyond.  For parents that are unable to make the set times of Academic Conferences, please do not hesitate to reach out to your daughter’s classroom teacher to make alternative arrangements to discuss classroom progress. 

SENIOR STUDIES EVENING

Year 10 and 11 students and parents were invited to the Senior Studies Evening in Week 1, Term 2.  This evening discussed the purpose of the senior years of learning in Queensland as well as the range of pathway options that the College offers.  If you were unable to attend, or would like links to further information shared on this night, it can be found on the Learning Hub. 

2025 SUBJECT SELECTION EVENINGS

Term 2 allows us to start to prepare for 2025 subject selection through holding Subject Information Evenings. These evenings allow parents and students to find out information about choosing subjects for 2025. 

The 2025 Subject Selection Evenings will be held on the following dates:

  • Tuesday, 4 June 2024 – Year 7 into Year 8, 2025 (5.30pm in the Auditorium)
  • Wednesday, 12 June 2024 – Year 9 into Year 10, 2025 (5.30pm in the Auditorium)
  • Wednesday, 12 June 2024 – Year 10 into Year 11, 2025 (6pm in the Auditorium)

These events are compulsory for students in these year levels and students must attend in their College academic uniform with a fully charged laptop.

To assist in the subject selection process, students in the year levels listed above will be will be involved in subject presentations throughout Weeks 3 and 4 to learn about the possible subject options for 2025.  Heads of Faculty will present this information to ensure students are aware of subject offerings and possible pathways linked to specific subjects. 

Report Cards

Report Cards will be issued in the June/July holidays to all year levels via email. 

Year 7 to 10 students will receive a Semester 1 Report, Year 11 students will receive a Unit 1 Report and Year 12 students a Unit 3 Provisional Report.

If your email address has changed please advise the College Office to ensure our records are updated and you receive your daughter’s report.
