Acting Pastoral Care & Wellbeing Coordinator
Welcome to Term 4!
We are thrilled to see the majority of our students returning in their correct summer uniforms and displaying impeccable grooming standards. It's a great start to the HSC examinations, and we wish all our senior students the very best with their studies for the HSC Examinations and in their endeavours.
This term, the Pastoral Team have many exciting pastoral initiatives planned, focusing on maintaining positive and healthy relationships, leadership, Youth Mental Health awareness, and the inclusion of some external presenters . As we near the end of the academic year, we encourage students to maintain their positive drive towards success and look forward to celebrating their achievements at the end of year assembly.
Once again parents and carers, thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. Together, we can make this term a memorable and successful one for all.
