Good afternoon everyone,

Earlier today our Pastoral teams conducted year based assemblies. Years Seven to Ten agenda items included:

• Advent prayer
• CEDoW Student Vaping presentation
• Positive Behaviour for Learning reminders 
• Preparations for the end of year Homegroup Christmas Door decorating.

Year 11, who are in the middle of their first formal assessment tasks for the 2022 HSC were provided time during this Assembly lesson to prepare for upcoming tasks. Thank you to all members of the respective year teams who assisted in the preparation and delivery of these important initiatives.

The student vaping resource prepared by CEDoW staff has now been shown to all students in Years Seven to Ten. The PDHPE faculty have allocated time and resources for follow-up lessons over the coming fortnight to discuss in more detail some of the implications with respect to effects, responsibilities, decision making and legal ramifications. Last week I shared the Staff and Parent resource. Click here CEDoW Student Vaping Resource  or CEDoW Vaping resource for parents if you would like to view either of these videos.  

2022 House Captaincy
Year Coordinators and Assistant Year Coordinators have been busy over the past week or so interviewing prospective House Captains for 2022. Students currently in Year Nine are eligible for these positions, which are an important leadership opportunity for our Year 10 students in 2022, as well as being an opportunity for those who may have an aim of being on the College Student Representative Council in their HSC year in 2024. This process will culminate next week with the presentation of videoed speeches and Voting during next week’s Friday Pastoral Assembly. Thanks to all students in 

Important Safety reminder for cyclists
Students who ride bicycles to school are to wear a helmet to and from our property. The carrying of passengers is not permitted on College grounds.

As usual, thank you to all parents and carers for your ongoing support as we enter the final few weeks of the year.

Regards

Mr Simon Huntly
Pastoral Care and Wellbeing Coordinator
