The past week has again witnessed a range of extracurricular activities that enhance the day to day work of the classroom that addresses the academic, spiritual and wellbeing needs of our students. The Trial HSC has completed its second week, Year 7 had their compulsory Vaccinations and Year 8 were involved in a Science Incursion to complement their units of work covered throughout the year and on Wednesday Years 9 & 10 Elective Visual Arts attended an Excursion to the Art Gallery of NSW yesterday. Thanks to all staff who organised and supervised these activities and to the students who participated and cooperated with them.

Next week will see the culmination of the HSC Trial exams on Monday and Year 12 will then take part in a Retreat Reconnect program on Tuesday. On Wednesday Year 9 will be taking part in the annual YourChoicez presentation on Relationships and Year 10 will be attending the BStreetsmart Road Safety day at Homebush. Wednesday night is the Stage 5 2025 Elective Subject Information evening and Thursday will see our Year 9 PASS classes participate in Wheelchair Sports. Please note that with Friday being scheduled for a pupil free day for Staff Professional Learning, that Wednesday and Fridays timetables will be swapped. Thanks in anticipation to all staff and students for their preparation and participation in these events.

Earlier this week a message was sent out via Compass Insight requesting parents and carers to provide online consent for the use of student images. This request has been ongoing and there were still a significant number of outstanding consents required. We are currently finalising College photos for the year and student images cannot be included in class and year group photos without consent. This also applies to our Yearbook. Could parents and carers please ensure that consent has been provided, or declined, through the Compass App as a matter of urgency. 

As always, should you have any questions or suggestions about how we can continue to support your son or daughter with their learning or wellbeing, please contact their Pastoral Advisor, Year Coordinator or the Front Office staff.

Mr Simon Huntly
