Year 12

Year 12 concluded their HSC Trials and IB examination periods recently. This was their final internal assessment for the HSC and formative task for IB Diploma.The students are now working with teachers on their feedback as learning  to improve their knowledge and skills prior to the external examinations in Term 4. We wish them well as they work towards their final weeks of their school life. 

HSC and IB Showcase

Year 12 Projects have been coming in for a few weeks. HSC and IB Music students presented their repertoire over the last two Friday afternoons. Textiles occurred earlier this term. The final showcase of projects will occur on 13 September. Starting at 4:15pm in the Boardroom with English Extension 2 students presenting an excerpt from their final work, this will be followed at 5:00pm with the History Extension students presenting their research and findings. From 5:15pm St Elizabeth’s and the rooms adjoining will open with an exhibit of the Visual Arts Bodies of Work and Design and Technology Projects and portfolios.

Year 11 Subject Selection for 2024

This week our Deputies and Deans conclude their meetings with students and parents to formalise their program in either the IB Diploma or HSC and their pattern of study. In these meetings we have discussed students post-school plans and how this aligns with the subjects they have chosen. I have encouraged all of the students who are thinking of University or TAFE to attend the University and TAFE Open Days occurring in the months of August and September.

Science Week 

Science Week went off with a bang last week. There will be various articles in this Veritas Voice highlighting the different opportunities our teachers from Prep through to Year 12 and our community designed. It was a program that was innovative and I thank our teachers for their dedication.
