We are looking forward to welcoming back Years 7-11 on Monday 25 October to the College. It is important that students are preparing for their return to the physical classroom. To assist in a smooth transition back to school students are reminded to be organised with their books, College diary, pencil case and laptop. Teachers are focused on planning for students to return to the College and developing learning experiences that will assist with this transition. Students in Years 7-11 are encouraged to look at the return to face to face learning as an opportunity for them to reset and refocus on ending the year in a positive way, making the most of the learning experiences that are before them and setting strong foundations for 2022. 

Year 11 have transitioned into their HSC courses and should be working on establishing learning goals for the HSC year and preparing for the rigour and expectations of their courses. The Change of Course process is open for eligible students, with the aim for finalising any changes by the end of Week 4. Students are reminded to contact me (millerc06@dow.catholic.edu.au) if they have any questions about the HSC and patterns of study.

Year 12 will continue to be able to access support from their teachers face to face, during their regular timetabled lessons. Students are encouraged to continue to seek feedback and revision as they finalise their preparations for the HSC exams.
