Term 2 will soon be finished, and the year is ticking by very fast.  As our Year 12 students move into Semester 2, their final semester of school, there is no better time to evaluate and re-assess how to effectively conclude the year achieving the best results possible. The leavers jackets arrived earlier in the term and have become a predominant feature of the Year 12 school uniform, identifying them in their final year.

Reminder - all Year 12 students are required to complete the online collection of student declaration and permission details for the Authority. The Authority’s purpose is to ensure all Year 12 students are aware of the requirements to achieve the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) and for sitting the WACE examinations. Additional information can be found in the Year 12 Information Handbook which is available on the Authority website. 

It was very pleasing to see the Senior School exams run efficiently and generally impressed with the overall attitude of the students, who presented punctually and were organised for each of their exams. We are also having some good results for the large number of students who went out on Workplace Learning placements.

Upon receipt of Semester 1 reports students will need to apply themselves to the areas requiring improvement, as they work towards the achievement of their WACE. Please heed the advice that it is absolutely not too late for every student to make the required change for the better.

Our Year 12 students need to be especially attentive in these preceding weeks to get every mark they can, resulting in the best grades achievable. Please be reminded especially at this time that every student needs a good life balance, making sure health, study and extra curricula activities are given reasonable time allowance. Leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of getting a better overall result, make any modifications minor or major, ensure every assessment is completed and handed in, this is a particularly good place to start being the beginning of Semester 2.

Can I also remind Year 12 students along with parents, that Connect is a vital part of the school communication and a lot of information is available on Connect so please make some time to check any updates or reminders? Please contact me if you have any concerns on 92936400.

I wish all Year 12 students a productive completion of Term 2 and a rest full holiday in July to come back relaxed and revitalised ready to give your all in Term 3.
