Year 12
It goes without saying that Year 12 are in the middle of a very important period in their school life. Term 3 is always jam packed with ‘the good, the bad, and the ugly’ of finishing off their time here at the College. For some it can’t come quick enough, but for the majority it’s a time to relish and soak up all the experiences that are their ‘lasts’.
Mr Paul Corsalini conducted an ‘Entry To University’ talk this week during period 1 of Super Wednesday. This was very beneficial for the students that are already trying to find their way through this complex process and hopefully everyone left with their questions answered and their path a little clearer.
Starting with Drama and Music towards the end of week three is the Trial exam period. This is always a hectic time with exams packed into two weeks. One of the best messages for our students is to ‘Be Prepared’. Being prepared through study and balanced life commitments then they will hopefully make this period not necessarily easy, but easier to manage.
Feeling good about upcoming exams and results is realising that, as the poet A.B. Paterson said - “A man who's done his best, has done enough". Just do your best!
The NSW Education Standards Authority has produced online material - #Stay Healthy HSC. #StayHealthyHSC is a social media partnership between NESA and mental health organisation ReachOut to support students on their journey to this year’s HSC.
Stay Healthy in Term 3 - This term it’s planning to help lighten the mental load in the lead up to the performance, practical and written exams. Visit it for practical tips for staying active, connected and in charge of your wellbeing, with a focus on managing exam stress.
One student that stood out above all others in her fundraising efforts was Zahli Pell of Year 7. Zahli and her family's effort were fantastic, ordering and organising over $300 worth of products. The organising committee visited Zahli in class earlier this week to present her with a certificate and a box of chocolates in appreciation of her efforts.
Year 12 students would like to thank all staff, students and families who placed orders and for their continued fundraising support and efforts.
