Year 12 Report

As we enter Week 9, a reminder that mock exams will be held in Week 10. Students are expected to arrive on time, fully prepared, and follow all exam protocols to make the most of this valuable preparation.

Excitement is definitely building for the upcoming Formal on Thursday 18 September, with student arrivals from 5:15pm. Families and community members are warmly invited to watch arrivals and celebrate this special milestone. It will be the perfect opportunity to celebrate their schooling journey as they prepare for life after schooling, we are all looking forward to seeing them at their best! The evening will conclude at 9:30pm.

Looking ahead to Term 4, regular classes will run in Weeks 1–3, followed by external exams from Weeks 4–7. Key dates to note include the Celebration of Excellence on 19 November and the 2025 Graduation Ceremony on Friday 21 November.

As always, I am immensely proud of our seniors and look forward to seeing them finish the year strongly and confidently.

Year 11 Report

Greetings Year 11s and families! It has been a super busy Term 3 for the class of 2026, but as we head towards Week 10, there is much to reflect on and be proud of.

Bullying No Way week, which was organised and driven by the Year 11 student leaders, was a resounding success. The Year 11s contributed by creating posters, cutting ribbons for ribbon day, painting placards, cutting out hands and writing messages of kindness to post on our Bullying No Way wall. The anti-bullying messages were inspiring to read, and the vibe throughout the week was one of kindness, support and inclusion. Thanks for volunteering your time to such a worthy cause.

Last Thursday, myself along with Ms Wilmore, Mr Banks and Ms Greenhalgh had the benefit of interviewing our prospective school leaders for 2026. Sitting down and hearing about the values our young people hold dear, and their visions for leadership in 2026 was nothing short of inspiring and we all finished the day energised and optimistic about the wonderful group of young people who will become our next School and Vice-Captains, Sports and Cultural Captains and Executive for both Interact and Student Council. The future is in great hands and we can’t wait to announce our 2026 leaders next term.

Looking ahead, our Year 11s will finish their term with an exam block in Week 10. This is a perfect rehearsal for external exams at the end of Year 12 and students are expected to be in full school uniform, with all necessary equipment and on time to their exam session in order to maximise the experience and get the best outcome for themselves. Students should consult the exam timetables emailed out and ensure that they have given themselves sufficient time to study and prepare thoroughly. We wish you all the best next week Class of 2026, and hope you’ll achieve the great results you deserve!

Have a wonderful September break and we’ll see you back here for the final term of the 2025 school year!

Year 9 Report

Hello everyone,

As we enter the final weeks of Term 3, it is important to check your student's diary and assessment planner to keep up to date with their assessment requirements. Meeting deadlines is an important aspect of real life and it is valuable for our students to be able to manage their time efficiently. If you want to find out more details about assessment items, please email your child's teacher directly.

A big thank you to all the Year 9 students and their teachers for their efforts in dealing with the inconveniences that flu season has thrown up this term. It is rewarding to see the students' resilience in the face of difficulties, their effort in schoolwork, and their ongoing support for one another within the school community. Their ability to adapt and stay focused despite disruptions is a testament to their growing maturity and commitment.

As we approach Term 4, I encourage students to reflect on their progress so far and set clear goals for the remainder of the year. I hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing holiday filled with laughter, good company, and well-deserved rest.

Many thanks.

Year 7 & 8 Report

It’s been wonderful to see Year 7 and 8 students travel through Term 3 with so much energy, creativity, and kindness.

In this busy term, one of the highlights has been Book Week which was a fantastic celebration of reading and imagination! From a glittering princess, to a pair of cheeky minions, to nearly the whole cast of Alice in Wonderland and so many other clever costumes, the effort students put into dressing up was fantastic.

Kindness has also been front and centre through days of awareness and action. On Bullying. No Way! Day, students stood up and pledged their commitment to building a safe, respectful school community. On Thursday it is R U OK? Day, an important reminder to look out for one another and to show kindness not just in big gestures, but in the everyday ways we check in with our friends and classmates.

Being the end of the term, assessment is underway, and I encourage all students to continue showing kindness to themselves too by turning up every day, trying their hardest, and taking pride in the effort they put in. Being consistent with attendance and having a go, even when the work feels challenging, builds habits that lead to success.

Thank you for your continued support. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at cfell0@eq.edu.au if I can support you or your child in any way.
