Term 2 will soon be finished, and before we know it, the Class of 2025 will be bidding us a fond farewell. They have completed their Semester 1 exams and are well and truly into Semester 2, the final semester of schooling.

Reports will soon be sent out. Please note it is not too late for every student to make the required change for the better so if their any concerns with grades then please tell them to come and see either Mr Bennett or myself so we can be up front with them and let them know what they need to improve so they can reach their final goal.

Our Year 12 students need to be especially focussed in these preceding weeks to get every mark they can, resulting in the best grades achievable. Please be reminded particularly at this time, that every student needs a good life balance, making sure health, study and extra curricula activities are given sensible time allowance. Leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of getting a better overall result, make any adjustments 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.

One of the most crucial things is attendance. If students aren’t here they will fall behind and it is really hard to play catch up at this stage of the year. Some of you will already have received a letter about attendance and Good Standing and I will be meeting with Year 12 students in the last week of term 2 who are at risk of losing their Good Standing because of attendance. If they lose their Good Standing, they will have to enter into an agreement to regain it in time for the school ball.

Can I also remind Year 12 students along with parents, that Connect is a vital part of school communication. 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 9293 6400.

As we move into Term 3 I just want to point out some key dates for our Year 12’s.

Please feel free to call me at any stage with any questions or concerns.

Year 11 and 12 Program Coordinator
