The recent ‘Write a Book in a Day’ event was a resounding success, showcasing the creativity and teamwork of our students. Three groups participated, writing and illustrating their stories collaboratively: our Year 7 students crafted the enchanting tale ‘A Cobweb Christmas,’ the Year 8 group penned the inspiring story ‘The Ticket to Fame,’ and a combined group of Year 9, 10, and 11 students wrote the gripping novel ‘The Plunge.’ Each group demonstrated exceptional dedication and imagination, making this event a memorable highlight of the school year.

End of Semester Reports have now been published to the Parent Lounge. For Years 7-11, we have moved to Continuous Reporting, whereby teachers provide feedback at the end of each assessment task.

On Wednesday 23 July, we will honour the students who have received Year 7-10 Academic or Pastoral Awards for Semester 1. Parents of award recipients are warmly invited to attend this assembly. This Assembly will take place at 12:15pm in Siena Hall.

Start of Term 3

Our second Student-Parent-Teacher Day is scheduled for 22 July, from 10:00am to 6:00pm. This is a pupil-free day. Interviews for Prep to Year 4 will be held in Del Monte Hall, Years 5-6 in Gioia House, and Years 7-11 in Siena Hall. Students are expected to wear full school uniform. These interviews offer a valuable opportunity for a three-way conversation between students, families, and teachers to reflect on progress. It is important that your child attends these interviews with you. Please note that these are in-person meetings only, and online options are not available. 

Upcoming events for Year 12 students

As our Year 12 students approach the final stretch of their school journey, the next six months are pivotal. To support them, we have organised for them to attend the career expo this Friday, offering insights into various post-school pathways. Additionally, during the holidays, teachers will be conducting on-site workshops to provide essential guidance and support. The library will be accessible to Years 11 and 12 students during the first week of the holidays, from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Students must sign in and out when utilising this service.
