No images? Click here The HSC examinations begin in Week 6 on Tuesday 9 November, and it is pleasing to see many Year 12 students have been continuing to come into the school for final preparations with their teachers. Graduation Ceremonies and Formals for Year 12 are able to be held but there are strict guidelines from the DoE which need to be adhered to for both events. Invitations will be sent to families and I am looking forward to celebrating with the students, the end of this chapter of their lives before taking on the challenges of the next. I was able to join our Year 12 Distance Education students in a Teams meeting last week to congratulate them on their achievements and wish them well for the future. Congratulations to Mrs Martin for the video; it rocked! Mrs M Hutchinson Please take note of the following announcements, for any questions please contact us on 6556 8100.

The Year 11 student completed 35 hours of work placement at the Village Cafe Restaurant in Laurieton, and has now received a job offer in return. Congratulations Jared!!!! Congratulations Lucas and AJ!!!To welcome students back to Term 4 and to complete their film study unit, 8D English were given the task of creating a film on their mobile phones. The project involved developing a storyboard that included a number of different shot sizes and utilised a variety of camera angles. Plots were planned, characters were developed, along with dialogue and selection of music. The students pictured (Lucas Horrigan and AJ Ashton) completed the task to a high standard and were able to upload their final version to a you tube channel. The premiere of their film was met with great acclaim by their peers in 8D. Congratulations must go to these boys as they dedicated many hours to editing after the filming to create an awesome end product! *Image: Lucas Horrigan (left), AJ Ashton (right).
