Welcome to our final newsletter for 2023 in our Foundation Year.
This edition will show you that this term has again been very busy with plenty of exciting events and activities.
END OF YEAR REPORTS
End of Year Reports for all students will be published in the final weeks of Term 4 on Compass. All parents will receive a notification when published and are encouraged to contact the relevant Mentor Teacher if you have any follow up questions.
These reports will show parents the great learning their child has engaged in for 2022 as well as providing some useful guidance on strategies for improvement in 2023. As a result, we ask that parents take the time to discuss the report with their child and engage in the learning journey with us.
2022 AWARDS AND PRESENTATION EVENING
After what has been a very busy and productive year, it was great to see so many of our families and community at our very first Awards and Presentation Evening. It was a great night, and with over 350 people in attendance is a great demonstration of the support our College and students have.
Equally impressive is that Deputy Secretary, Dr David Howes attended and was one of our guest speakers, which continues to show the extensive support and recognition our school is receiving from the Department of Education.

2023 STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL AND CAPTAINS
Recently we had the pleasure of shortlisting several students who applied for the roles of Mentor, House and Music Captains in 2023. These students then were provided the opportunity to deliver a presentation to their group before all students voted for their preferred candidate in each role. Throughout this process, all applicants impressed us all with their commitment to the College as well as their maturity and professionalism.
As a result of this lengthy process, I am very pleased to be able to announce the following students and their roles in student leadership for 2023, where they will work with our College Leadership Team to ensure we have a successful foundation year. These students will be presented with the Leadership Pins at our next assembly.
