YEAR 11 NEWS
YEAR 12 JERSEYS
Sample jerseys have arrived for students to try on for size!
This will occur in our Pastoral focus lesson soon. The rules on when and how jerseys must be worn in relation to the school uniform will also be outlined at this time.
After finalising sizing and names in week 3, it is intended jerseys will be officially ordered in week 4.
Below is the final design selected for the Year 12 cohort of 2026.
SOCIAL SPORT
Year 11 will be offered an opportunity from Week 5 this term to participate in a round robin of sport competition on Wednesdays at lunch time. This is to encourage social interaction and just a time to relax with each other. Details will be provided soon.
STUDY
Just one of the main focus areas for Year 11 students and arguably the most important. It is stated that students should be looking at completing 2 hours of study per night and potentially extra on the weekend. This of course should be balanced with physical exercise, recreational activities and potentially some part time work.”Be sure to allocate time for each subject according to your requirements, but do not concentrate on one particular subject at the expense of others” As discussed on year assembly, students should look to potentially prioritise their energy towards, homework, assessment tasks, and further study. Further study being strategies for remembering and processing subject content and developing skills to do this. Students were encouraged to seek specific strategies for “study” techniques from each of their subject teachers as each area will have differences in how study techniques will be most effective
REMINDER - ABSENCE/ ILLNESS / MISADVENTURE
If a student is absent on the day of a common task the office must be notified and the student must complete a Misadventure Form on their return.
Do not assume misadventure forms will be approved. Holidays, routine appointments, part-time work, driving tests, sporting commitments without principles approval and technical problems concerning computers, printers or internet access will not be considered to be an acceptable form of misadventure.
It is very important for students and their parents to continue to communicate with teachers if they are struggling with any aspects of the course or if they believe they are eligible for a misadventure.
ATTENDANCE
Just a reminder that attendance is of utmost importance to academic success and well being. Year 11 attendance aim in 2025 ie. High Expectations regarding attendance relates to attending 95% of available school days which also equals 10 days or less per year
