Welcome to 2026. I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable break over the holiday period. I would like to offer congratulations to our 2025 students, both graduating and returning, on their academic achievements. I would also like to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to both returning and new students. We look forward to seeing you all in the first week of Term 1.
PARENT INFORMATION NIGHT
A Parent Information Night for parents and caregivers will be held at the College on Wednesday 4th February 6pm to 7:30pm. This night will include an information session on how the SACE works, how to access Moodle; the online system used by the College, along with some tips on how best to support your child as they finish their education. It is also a great opportunity to meet teachers, put names to faces, and develop an understanding of how the College works.
STUDY HALL
Each Year 12 student has been allocated a Study Hall with a mentor teacher. The mentor teacher will help students with their organisational skills and prioritisation of assessments, in addition to promoting good study habits. Study Hall is a place where students can work on assignments, revise for tests, check in with their mentor, and receive the individual support they need when necessary. All Stage 2 students have been allocated a weekly time for their Study Hall in their individual timetable and attendance is mandatory. Student attendance and constructive use of Study Hall is documented in each term’s report. Teachers are involved in facilitating these sessions which will be kept small to ensure all students reap the benefit they provide.

TERM 1 REPORTS
Interim Reports for all students will be sent out at the end of Week 6 (Friday 6th March). These reports signify if students are on track to pass a subject, and provide an opportunity for students to check in and review their academic progress at the crucial half way mark in Term 1. A more comprehensive report will be sent at the end of the term for both Year 11s and 12s.
STUDENT DRIVING POLICY
The College has a driving policy for students who have their drivers licence and drive to school. For more information please visit:
