Mr Peter McLellan | Head of Secondary

We have come to the end of the first half of the year.  When we look at what has happened this term, we can see how God has blessed us through this whole time. 

I wish to thank all of our community for how we have stuck together during a difficult time.  It has been great to see our learning community grow and mature through adversity. 

Have a safe and restful holiday.  Year 12 stay focused and motivated to stay on top of your studies for the HSC.

Years 8 and 10 Subject Selection Information Session (Online) - Tuesday 28 July 2020

A Subject Selection Information Session for Year 8 (Elective Subjects in Years 9 and 10) Year 10 (Senior Courses for Years 11 and 12) students and parents is planned to be held on Tuesday 28 July 2020 ( Week 1, Term 3).

We are looking at providing all information online as it is still unclear of our ability to run meetings at School for adults.  More details will be provided in an email in the near future.

This will be an informative event for Year 8 and Year 10 students selecting subjects for next year, and for those thinking about options for future career pathways.

Year 10 Interviews Monday 10 August and Tuesday 11 August

In Week 3 on Monday 10 August and Tuesday 11 August, all Year 10 students will be undergoing an interview to discuss their future educational studies.

You will need to book an interview for you and your child (through the Parent Lounge on TASSWeb). (An email will be sent to all Year 10 parents next week with details of how to book the interviews). You will be assigned a teaching staff member who will conduct the interview process.

Further information regarding these interviews will be explained at the Year 10 Subject Selection Information Session (online) on Tuesday 28 July.

Parent/Teacher Night for Years 7 - 12 

Our Parent/Teacher night for Years 7 to 12 will be held on 4 August (Week 2, Term 3). More details on how this will operate will be released soon.

Year 10 Vaccinations and Year 7 Catch Ups

Year 10 vaccinations for Meningococcal will be on Wednesday 5 August (Week 2, Term 3) and the information/permission packs will be sent home in Week 1 of Term 3, and need to be returned or brought on the day of the vaccinations and given to the nurses.  There will also be any Year 7 vaccination catchups on this day.

Progressive Reporting

This year we have moved to Progressive Reporting where you will receive detailed feedback on your child's performance in each Assessment Task throughout the year.

The advantage of Progressive Reporting is guidance on a student's performance and how they can improve in each area of the task they undertake. This will give you a much clearer picture of your child's progress.

You will no longer receive a Half Yearly Report and at the end of the year you will receive a summative transcript of your child's academic year.

Please see instructions below for how to access the Parent Lounge Progressive reporting.
