Year 12 News

It was a pleasure to welcome back our Year 12 cohort today after their study and exam break. The alternate program that they engaged in encompassed a presentation from Paul Dillon about keeping safe whilst on Leavers' Week. The students also had the opportunity to participate in Reconciliation, an exit survey and a Valete rehearsal.

Next week most of our Year 12 students will return to normal timetable for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for exam feedback and revision. On Thursday we will celebrate the Day of Invitation with parents, students and teachers. The day will begin at 9.00am in the Chapel and will conclude about 12.20pm with a parent and teacher guard of honour after the Secondary Assembly. The Valete Ceremony and Dinner will commence in the Gym on Friday at 5.15pm for students, who are expected to wear the full formal uniform. Parents are asked to be seated by 5.50pm. I have included approximate times and further details of both days below.
