Year 11
Welcome back to Term 2!
As students transition into their Winter uniforms, it’s a reminder of the journey ahead. With assessments, increased workloads, and various extracurricular activities throughout, we encourage students to make the most of available support systems this term. Whether it’s seeking assistance from the Dean, teachers, accessing academic support services, or leaning on peer networks, we encourage students to take advantage of the support systems in place. Together, we can ensure a successful and fulfilling term for all. Furthermore, our commitment to guiding and supporting Year 11 students remains unwavering. We understand the pivotal nature of this academic year and are dedicated to providing the necessary guidance to help them excel.
