Good luck Year 12s – Jennifer Oaten
Term 3 has rapidly come to an end with some significant milestones achieved by our Year 12 students.
- All Year 12 courses are completed, and the students have now come to the end of four Terms of study having commenced in Term 4 2018.
- Our ACCESS students have had a week of Transition, which has provided many opportunities for developing skills and knowledge that will assist them with gaining employment. They have had opportunities to complete a range of workshops including a first aid course and a barista course.
- Our ATAR students commenced their final exams before WACE (Mocks) this week with the remainder scheduled in Week 2 of the holidays. The girls have worked hard throughout the year, so these exams are a time to demonstrate their learning.
- Practical exams for WACE courses occur in Week 1 of the holidays. These include Physical Education, Drama and Dance. Language practical exams are scheduled early in Term 4.
We wish all our Year 12 girls the best of luck over the next few weeks and for the future. I hope they achieve all they hope for.
Congratulations to all students for their dedication to their studies and their involvement in College life throughout the term.
I wish all families a safe and happy holiday. God Bless.

The average person’s attention span when using a digital device has plummeted from around two and a half minutes back in 2004 to just 47 seconds on average today – a dramatic 66% decrease over the past two decades.
