Student Services
At this stage of the year, the two most important things on everyone’s minds are the upcoming exams and the end of year activities.
Exams
I want to wish our Year 9s the best of luck for their first set of formal exams. It is a very important time for them as they look to set themselves up for Senior School.
Remember that preparation should have started by now, rather than leaving it to the night before. If a student is sick during exams they will need a medical certificate so that staff can factor this into their final grades. When preparing for exams please ensure that you:
- Get a good night’s sleep.
- Make sure you have breakfast so you are ready to go in the morning.
- Pack your bag the night before so you know you have all the materials you require and what room you have your exam in.
End of Year Activities
As a part of the Good Standing Program we are offering students in Years 7, 8 and 9 the opportunity to participate in the end of year activities.
The Year 7s will be going to the movies on Monday December 12. The Year 8’s will be having their Outdoor Cinema and pizza dinner evening here at school (which is always a resounding success) on Wednesday December 14 and of course our Year 9’s will have their annual River Rock on Tuesday December 13. The cost for these events will be distributed shortly..
For a student to be eligible to attend any of the above activities they must meet the following criteria:
-Student to have Good Standing as at Year 7 – 3pm Friday Dec 9; Year 8 – 3pm Wednesday December 14 and Year 9 – 3pm Tuesday Dec 13.
-If staff identify students who have not been following our five values of Pride, Respect, Learning, Community and Resilience then students will need to negotiate their inclusion with the individual staff member.
-Student’s school fees should also have been paid by 8 December, or arrangements have been made with the School Business Manager Mrs Jeni Jorritsma.
Remember that if you have any questions then please contact the relevant Year Coordinator at school on 9293 6400.
