The last few weeks of Term 3 have been extremely busy. This time of year, a great deal of planning is happening behind the scenes trying to prepare for the 2023 school year, whist also adjusting the current year’s program and plan. Despite all the happenings, it’s pleasing to see we have successfully navigated another term. The break will no doubt be well received by students and staff alike. It’s an opportunity to reflect and recharge for one final effort to see the year out.
Our thoughts are with our current Year 12 cohort who have a busy term break completing their trial exams. These are an important component in our Year 12 preparation and the feedback received from these exams can highlight key areas of focus in the lead up to their final exams. It is no secret that the students who perform best in VCE exams are the ones who have practiced exam questions the most. Just like any other activity the more you rehearse the greater the improvement.
I would like to acknowledge the wonderful effort of our performing arts department. The past two weeks have seen an incredible array of performances. Ranging from the music concert in Week 9, that entertained the audience with a mixture of music styles ranging from jazz, soul, blues, pop, rock and lovely piano and flute classical duet. Well done to Melissa Bonett, Shanea Barrett and the instrumental music team. This week we were able to see the incredible dance concert, once again the hard work and exquisite skills of our students, with the guidance of our teaching staff, was on display. Congratulations to Stephanie Wasif and the team for producing another high-quality performance. I look forward to hosting these events in our new auditorium and performing arts centre in the not-too-distant future.
Finally, I would like to wish all our families, staff and community a safe, happy and enjoyable term break. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to education and our College.
