It has been a whirlwind of activity in the Senior School at the start of Term 3.
The recent 'Futures and Careers Expo' on Wednesday, 2 August proved to be a resounding success, with over 40 exhibitors showcasing the myriad of post-school options available to students.
As we march towards the end of the academic year, the Year 10 and 11 Subject Selection phase presented an exciting opportunity to collaborate with students as they carve out their educational journey for 2024. Engaging with these students and assisting them in aligning their interests and aspirations with suitable subjects is a gratifying experience that paves the way for their future success. I know our Kinship teachers enjoyed them.
The Year 12 Futures Meetings mark a crucial juncture for final-year students as they navigate the daunting task of making life-altering decisions about their post-school destinations. These meetings provide a supportive environment for students to explore higher education, vocational options, and other pathways, empowering them to make informed choices that resonate with their individual passions. It has been a delight to be involved in these this year and hear about the array of career pathways our students are taking.
In the realm of academic excellence, the recent Academic Assembly on Thursday, 17 August stood as a testament to our students' diligence and dedication. A total of 174 awards were conferred upon outstanding achievers in the Senior School, celebrating not only their exceptional academic prowess but also their unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and remarkable effort.
Finally, the Year 10 Retreat emerged as a commendable initiative, offering students a valuable pause to unwind and connect. In a world often bustling with activities, the retreat provided a space for introspection and camaraderie, fostering a holistic sense of well-being.
No doubt the Senior School will be just as busy in the second half of the term. I look forward to working with you all around ensuring success for all students.
