The past week has once again highlighted our ongoing commitment to providing opportunities for students to engage in and be recognised for their achievements across a range of Learning, Wellbeing and Faith activities. Mr Lo Cascio has written in detail about a number of these in his section, but I would also like to extend my thanks to all staff students and families/carers for their support over the past week with:

• Tuesday to Thursday - Student Leaders Bishops Retreat
• Thursday - Year 7 Surf Awareness Excursion to Sandon Point
• Today - Sports Awards Assembly
• Tonight - MacFest at Magdalene Catholic College

As we head into our final week of classes for 2023, the provision of these Learning, Wellbeing and Spiritual initiatives will continue. An overview of the upcoming week involves:

• Year 10 Activities Week - Stanwell Tops team building and All My Own Work (Monday and Tuesday), Elevate Education Careers presentations on Wednesday and  Community Day on Thursday.
• HSC and ATAR Results on Thursday, with a morning tea being held for our class of 2023.
• End of Year College Mass at 10.15am and Years 7-10 Academic and Major Awards at 12pm (parents and families invited to attend).
• Years 7 to 10 Reports released on Friday afternoon.

Again, thanks to all staff students and families/carers for their involvement and support of these events.

Please be reminded that Parent/Teacher/ Student Interviews PTS Interviews will be conducted by Zoom on Monday morning, 18 December between 9am and 12:30pm. Information regarding access to the Zoom links has been communicated through Compass.
