Senior School eNewsletter

Welcome to Term 3. I hope families had an enjoyable break and that students are prepared for a busy term ahead. Families will have received student reports during the break. I spoke to students yesterday about the need to reflect on the feedback in these reports and to devise action plans, big or small, for Terms 3 and 4. All students should be setting themselves goals for the remainder of the year and beyond.
Year 12 Formal
Congratulations to all students on the way they conducted themselves at the Year 12 Formal at Leonda by the Yarra on 27 June. It was a terrific night and students approached the evening in the spirit of the occasion. Many thanks to Year 12 Prefects Lucy Arthur and James Courtot and staff members Anne O’Brien and Heather De Morton for their organisation of such a successful evening. We can again approach next year’s Formal with a great deal of confidence.
