Changes to Upcoming Events
The last week of Term 2 hosts a number of special programs at each year level. With the exception of events requiring interstate travel which have had to be cancelled, we are cautiously optimistic that most of the other programs will be able to proceed either as planned or with only minor modifications. We can offer this special program week thanks to the generosity of our staff and I thank all who have committed to this week, especially given that we have experienced high levels of absenteeism due to sickness from COVID-19 and flu-like virus鈥 this term.
School Advisory Council
The School Advisory Council met this week and continued to contribute to the Annual Action Plan. Of particular interest is an analysis about communication between the College and parents/guardians. It was agreed that we would seek feedback about what is proving effective in terms of communication via a brief survey. Please keep an eye out for the survey as this feedback will be crucial to our planning. We also received a progress report on the redevelopment plans for the disused tennis courts adjoining Great Ryrie St which sounds very exciting. The next gathering of the School Advisory Council is for our Seminar Evening in late July and we will be working with our architects on refining our Master Plan.
College Musical - Back to the Theatre
It鈥檚 acknowledged that the Performing Arts, in particular, suffered during our COVID-19 lockdowns. So, with a great sense of anticipation, we look forward to our upcoming 管家婆免费开奖大全 Musical Revue which has been playfully titled: Back to the Theatre. Over two nights, 16th and 17th June, students will showcase their talents and perform pieces from some of our best known musicals. Tickets are available here: /events/back-to-the-theatre-musical-revue
School Captains Meeting
I had the pleasure this week to meet with our School Captains to hear about progress with their projects during Term 2. As always, it is inspiring to hear young leaders who are so passionate about their school and the wellbeing of their contemporaries. We discussed plans for Term 3 including the introduction of lunch activities for younger students to promote physical activity and teamwork.
Year 7 Enrolment Reminder
A reminder to our families that applications for enrolment in Year 7 for 2024 close on Friday August 19 and that we will not presume that you wish to enrol your Year 5 child just because you have an older child currently enrolled at the College. Please contact the College Registrar, Ms Madeleine Kalla on 9259 3008, should you have any questions.
