Week 9 Assembly

On Thursday the school held an assembly that focused on possibility and positivity. During the assembly, we looked at examples of famous people who made a difference in the world including Benjamin Franklin; Alexander Fleming and Michelangelo. These men dared to imagine that something was possible and proved it to be so, working hard to make a difference in society. We also acknowledged and celebrated our students’ success. There was an extraordinary amount of students who received an outstanding opal score for participation and application in all subjects. Those students with an average of above 9.1 / 10 were given merits.

Year 11 2023 Enrolment

The Year 11 2023 enrolment process has now begun. Our current Year 10 students have received their Stage 6 McAuley Catholic College Course handbook 2023-2024 that details course outlines. A number of parents and students also attended the parent information evening in week 7 to speak with Mrs Lee and subject coordinators. I encourage all families to discuss with their children their best option for Years 11/12, and subject selections. We are also introducing a compulsory interview with parents and any year 10 student who would like to enrol at the school for year 11 2023. This will be in the form of a subject counselling interview on Tuesday 16th August (week 5). The booking process will be similar to parent-teacher-student conferences and time slots will be open during week 3 of the term. Please add this date to your calendar.

Year 7-11 Semester 1 Reports

Week 10 will see the publication of all Year 7-11 Semester 1 Reports.  Please take the time to go over the report as a family and look at areas of success for your child and where relevant possible ways for improvement. Parent-teacher-student conferences will be taking place in week 2. I encourage parents to take this opportunity to meet with teachers and support their children to set goals for semester 2.

I wish all students and staff a restful winter break and look forward to students returning to Term 3, recharged and ready for learning.
