As we find ourselves past the midway point of the year, it's time to reflect on the accomplishments of our students and recommit ensuring our focus is on education. The past few months have been filled with hard work, dedication, and countless moments of growth.

Student Led Conferences: Building Knowledge, Embracing Growth

Thank you to all those parents and students who engaged with the Student Led Conferences on Wednesday evening. Teachers will continue to communicate progress with parents and students as we continue through the remainder of the year.

Learning is at the core of everything we do. It is vital for students to review their progress and set goals for the remainder of the year. Whether it's acing a challenging math problem, delving deep into a thought-provoking literature piece, or exploring new scientific concepts, every step forward is worth celebrating.

Wearing the Uniform: Pride in Our School, Pride in Ourselves

The school uniform is more than just a dress code; it symbolizes our shared identity and values as a school community. When you wear the uniform, you become part of a larger collective that upholds respect, integrity, and a commitment to learning. The uniform fosters a sense of belonging and equality, reminding us that we are all on this journey together, regardless of our backgrounds or differences.

I follow on from my article in the Term 2 Week 9 newsletter:

Wearing the uniform is not just an obligation; it's an opportunity to express pride in who we are and the educational institution we represent. Students are reminded to wear our uniform with confidence, knowing that we are all apart of a community that supports and uplifts one another.

Students and parents are reminded that the uniform policy is on our College website and in the student's diary. If a student is not in the current uniform staff will work with the student and parents to ensure this is rectified. A partnership with parents is important in ensuring that students can meet expectations here at the College that mirror the expectations of the future workplaces our students are moving into.

Celebrating the Success of Our Students: Achievements Worth Commemorating

We take great pride in the accomplishments of our students, from outstanding academic performances to exceptional achievements in extracurricular activities, each student's progress contributes to the vibrant tapestry of our school.

At the end of Semester 1, 50% of all students in the Senior Years attained at least 1 “A” grade in their subjects, with 20% of students obtaining at least “A”s in their subjects.

As a school community, we celebrate not only the high achievers but also those who have shown tremendous growth, perseverance, and improvement. Every step forward, no matter how big or small, deserves recognition and applause.

As the term progresses we encourage our students and parents to engage with our staff to ensure students in all year levels are working towards being the best versions of themselves.
