Welcome to the final term of 2024 to all students and families. At the term 4 assemblies held in week 1, we continued our theme of Better Together. We encourage all Year 9 and 10 students to finish off the year strong. We presented 9I as the Pizza Challenge Attendance Competition winners, as the home group who have improved their attendance the most from term 2 to term 3. 9I will be rewarded with a pizza lunch later in the term. The competition has restarted this term, with all home groups striving to improve their attendance.
The school calendar has already been full of events and opportunities for students. 11 Year 10 students participated in the Melbourne University GTAC excursion early this term. This provided students with the opportunity to explore the GTAC facilities, talk to current students about their research projects and get a first-hand experience of what it is like to work and learn in the Biomedical Sciences Digital Learning Hub. Our Year 10 History students visited the Melbourne Holocaust Museum as part of their study of World War II. Year 9 students have had equal opportunities to expand on their classroom learning, with classes visiting the Marine Discovery Centre to explore biotic and abiotic ecosystems.
Students are currently completing work which will be reflected on the next round of Progress Reports. These will be available in week 3 and 6 for Year 10 and 9 respectively. We remind all Middle School students to continue to be proactive in their learning, arrive to class on time with their equipment and finish the year of strong.
The Year 10 Formal will be held on 6 December. We encourage those wanting to attend to provide payment and consent through the Compass app.
The Middle School would like to welcome our school community back to term 4 and we look forward to celebrating our students’ successes as we near the end of the year.
