From the Head of Campus
So far this term we have enjoyed a calendar full of sporting events; career and pathway opportunities celebrating ‘national ‘Careers Week’, public speaking, award night ceremonies, mine tours, carnivals, spelling bee competitions, work experience placemenets and as always lots of valuable learning in the classroom. Looking forward to the next 2 weeks it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Please note some big events in Week 5 and 6 below and as always refer to the school calendar for a full list of events and activities.
In Week 5 we enjoy ‘Wellbeing Week’ - take this as an opportunity to ‘stop’ and enjoy family time by taking advantage of ‘no homework’ in junior classes (Senior students will still have homework assigned) and try to achieve at least one thing to improve your health and wellbeing.
Importantly we also acknolwedge Reconciliation Week in Week 5. Our wonderful Aboriginal Support Officer Josie has many activities for tutor groups to engage in - to raise awareness and engage in the spirit of reconciliation and unity.
Good luck to all students competing in the Schools Cup in Dubbo. We have had great success in this competition in the past and we look forward to hearing how our teams progress.
The Year 12 Geography are heading to Sydney for an excursion.
In Week 6, on Tuesday 4 June the Stage 6 (Years 11 and 12) Parent and Teacher Interviews will be held at the Secondary campus hall between 3.45 - 7pm. Families will be able to book interviews from Sunday 26 May at 6.30pm. The booking facility will close on Sunday 2 June at 8.30pm. Families of senior students are encouraged to take this important opportunity to engage with their child’s teachers and their learning to celebrate success and to set goals for further improvement and consolidation.
Our rugby league teams will be heading to Dubbo for competitions on Tuesday 4 June, whilst the CCC cross country is held on Wednesday 5 June at the Eastern Creek Equestian Centre. We wish all athletes the best of luck.
For a full list of upcoming events and activities please refer to the school calendar.
Wishing you all a wonderful fortnight.
