Year 10

We are looking forward to welcoming Yr 10 back on the Senior Campus on Tuesday for the next two weeks. I am excited to see all of them after so many weeks away. Yr 10 will have a relatively normal school day on this day, but there may be changes to their timetables in terms of classrooms and timing of classes. In addition, they are not to arrive on Campus before 7.30am, where there will be temperature testing for all students and staff prior to entry. Please have a conversation with your child prior to Tuesday as to expected sensible behaviour regarding social distancing and hygiene while at school. Meanwhile, for all other Remote Learning days, please continue to email if your child is unable to attend Zoom classes or Tutor Time at any point during the day.

Half Yearly Examinations

Students will be sitting their Half Yearly exams on Friday 15 and Monday 18 May. The exam timetable has been sent to them and can also be found on the Pastoral page under Important Information. The students have been told that it is a reduced number of exams, being Maths, Languages, Science and Dance only. During these two days, students will not have normal Zoom classes, with the exception of still being required to attend Tutor sessions. Students have been told to ask their class teachers prior to the start of the exams on Friday if they have any questions as to the processes involved.

Careers Information

Students will shortly begin the process of deciding their choices of HSC or IB subjects for 2021-22. Ms Salier, our Careers Advisor, is regularly in touch with the students and is working closely with our Yr 10 Pastoral Care team to ensure the students will be making informed choices. Next week this process will begin with a video about subject selection. More information will be given throughout the course of this term.

Service

Exciting Service initiatives including a Camp In tomorrow night, can be found on the Service and Social Engagement article in this week’s Note Day.
