Students in the Middle School have started Semester 2 including moving into new subjects this week. Well done to our middle school students for completing their exams across these last few weeks. As we move towards the term break it is worth reflecting on the first half of the year which has included learning across the eight learning areas as well as sport, excursions and competitions.
Year 9 Explore
The Year 9 Explore Program was a tremendous success, providing students with three action-packed days of memorable city experiences. Highlights included visits to ArtVo, the MCG, and the Old Melbourne Gaol, offering students engaging and enriching opportunities beyond the classroom.
A big thank you to the Middle School Team for their exceptional organisation and seamless delivery of this outstanding program.
Year 10 Work Experience
Our Year 10 students will step into the world of work when they begin their Work Experience on Monday 30 June. This valuable opportunity allows them to gain real-world insight into various industries, explore potential career pathways, and develop a deeper understanding of how businesses and organisations operate. Work Experience is a significant step in helping students connect their learning to future aspirations and build essential workplace skills.
Semester Reports and Student Reflection
Semester reports will be available online in the coming weeks, offering valuable insights and feedback for both students and parents. Congratulations to all students who have engaged positively in their learning throughout the semester — particularly those who have reflected on their assessments, taken on feedback and applied strategies to improve.
Semester Reports provide a meaningful opportunity for reflection — a chance to acknowledge what has gone well, recognise areas of progress and celebrate where effort has led to success. These achievements should be acknowledged and built upon as students move into semester two. At the same time, it’s important to thoughtfully consider areas for further growth and how different approaches might lead to improved outcomes.
A holistic view of student development is essential — one that values not only academic performance but also behaviour, effort, collaboration, creativity, and resilience. The goal is for every student to strive for their personal best across all aspects of school life.
