Good afternoon everyone,

Two significant events occurred this week on the Pastoral Care and Wellbeing front. The first being the Year 10 Activity Days on Monday and Tuesday. These were conducted at Stanwell Tops and onsite. The cohort was split into gender groups, with the Girls attending Stanwell Tops on Monday to participate in team building and challenge activities. This was a first for our girls and is something that we would anticipate being maintained for the future. The boys remained at the College on Monday and participated in presentations from Sam Clear (walk4one ), David Gearin (Social Justice Project officer from CEDoW) and Constables Alan Clapham (Police Liaison Officer) and Trent Skellern (Highway Patrol). The groups alternated on Tuesday with the girls taking part in presentations from Judi Limbers (All.u.re), followed by David Gearin and Constables Clapham and Skellern. Thanks to Mr Harrison and Ms Bowen for the organisation that took place and to all staff who assisted over the 2 days.

Today saw our first College Assembly since Term One, with a focus on Year 11 Leadership and Academic Awards from the Preliminary course. It was great to see the whole College community gathered together again to celebrate these significant achievements, which are an important part of our whole school pastoral Care and Wellbeing framework.

A final reminder that Elevate Education is hosting one remaining webinar this year. The focus of this week’s presentation is Technology. Details for registering are provided below.
