Students representing success
It’s with great pleasure that I acknowledge the work of our Senior School Student representatives. Throughout the term they've been showcasing our college by participating in our tours, leading athletics trainings and competitions, planning projects to be implemented for student benefit and being loyal and respectful role models among their peers.

Year 12 Learning Reviews
As Term 1 draws to a close, it's timely to celebrate our achievements at our Learning Reviews that provide an opportunity for students, parents and teachers to discuss the approaches taken so far and map a plan for the weeks ahead.
By creating strategies to work toward improvements, we set everyone up for success. The weeks ahead are sure to be focused on improvement and we encourage all Year 12 students to maintain an their focus on learning.
Learning Review discussions for students, parents Years 6 – 11 early will take place early in Term 2.
Student Achievements
I’ve been impressed with the adaptability demonstrated by our students, including our Year 12s (pictured in their bespoke jumpers). This is the expectation that we established together in the first weeks, and it is with pride that I can report that students have worked collegially with their teachers. Both the SACE Board and the International Baccalaureate Organisation have made some adjustments to subject expectations, and I encourage you to be aware of these.
Thank you
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Senior School BBQ, an excellent opportunity to catch-up informally at the college and take advantage of our beautiful view.
In wishing you all a happy and safe Easter on behalf of all Senior School educators, thank you to our students for your efforts this Term, see you in early May.
Michael Francis
Head of Senior School.
