Term 3 Week 5 – 11th August 2021
PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
Remote Learning – At this stage, we have at least
another two weeks of remote learning and I do not hold
a lot of hope for level 4 restrictions to be lifted by the
end of week 7. To that end, can I please stress to
parents, students and staff to look after yourself and do
what you can. Remote learning is difficult for everyone
and we all have days when we are not as motivated as
others. Please do not apply too much pressure on
yourselves. This will be over soon, and we will get back
to normal.
Sophie Cotsis – Today Year 12 had a Q&A session with our
local MP, Ms Sophie Cotsis. Ms Cotsis answered a number of
questions and listened to the concerns of the students in her
local electorate The boys very much appreciated Ms Cotsis’ time
and felt reassured that someone in her position took the time out
of her busy day to answer their questions.
Positive News - Yesterday the school received a lovely email from one of our Year 7 parents.
We are building a culture of celebrating student success, but it was very nice for a parent to
recognise the great work staff are doing during these trying times.
P&C Meeting – Tonight we will be holding our Term 3 P&C
meeting via Zoom. At tonight’s meeting, we will hear from our
Careers Advisor, Ms Giameos about the post school destination
options for our students. Ms Giameos is an amazing Careers
Advisor. We are very lucky to have her. This is a great
opportunity for parents to ask the questions they would like
answered in this supportive environment. I encourage all parents
to attend.

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
Thank you for keeping your sons at home. Our school is open with minimal supervision onsite to support
those students who cannot be educated from home.
We are endeavouring to support all our students through these challenging times. We ask that you assist
us by letting the school know if there are any additional needs, regarding your son’s learning, that we
can help you with. Please encourage your sons to complete their online lessons and have sufficient
down time for their own life-work balance.
We are following guidelines set by the Department of Education and will continue to communicate any
changes about online learning when advised. Please continue to check emails, texts and our Facebook
page.
College
The return of HSC students to on-site activities will continue to be based on the latest NSW Health
advice. All students in identified LGAs of concern must continue learning from home until advised
otherwise. This means that College students can no longer return to school on 16 August. This also
means that onsite trial examinations have been cancelled and are being replaced by online modified
assessment tasks.
Week 7 is being regarded as an assessment block for College students. This means that regular
Zoom/Google Classroom lessons will not be timetabled throughout week 7.
Below is a timetable indicating the assessment task schedule and the starting time for each task.

College students are reminded that these are formal assessment tasks, and that the requirement is that
they are present and online ready to do their best in these tasks at least five minutes before the
scheduled start time. Regular assessment rules and procedures apply. It is the student’s responsibility to
follow these rules and to ensure they are on time and prepared for the task. If there is a valid reason for
non-completion of these tasks, students must provide evidence and apply through the misadventure
process.

College Year Meetings
College students attended Year Meetings today to discuss these requirements and for a wellbeing check
in. College One were also given information about nominating to be part of the senior leadership group in
2022. We look forward to having some of our wonderful College One students rise to the challenge and
nominate so they can demonstrate their leadership qualities, acknowledge their achievements and share
their vision as potential leaders for 2021- 2022 school year.
As Mr Dummett has said, College Two and their parents had a Q and A with Ms Sophie Cotsis, Member
for Canterbury. Ms Cotsis was able to hear some of the concerns of our community, she is a great
advocate for her electorate and was able to provide some great advice to students and families around
some specific issues.
Student Representative Council (SRC)
The school would like to congratulate Ms Amanda Simpson as the successful applicant for the role of
SRC coordinator late last term. Ms Simpson and the members of the SRC met last week to discuss
ideas about how to increase student’s social interactions during online learning. The students came up
with some exciting ideas ranging from online trivia competitions to online multiplayer games. The SRC
team is now researching the best ways to bring these ideas to realisation. The students have also
developed a survey which will be coming your way soon. Keep your eyes out for more information from
the SRC team.

CAREERS CORNER
Last week some of our Year 11 students participated in the online UNSW Gateway Spring
Program workshop. The program is designed to support students in preparing for their HSC and
receive an early conditional offer to study at UNSW.
During the workshop students explored their values and interests in relation to possible degrees
that might best suit them and gained valuable insights from student ambassadors about their
first year at University.
Year 11 students who did not participate in the online workshop last week can still register for
the Gateway Spring Program – an online program run after school and in the holidays from
Monday 6 – Thursday 23 September.
During the Gateway Spring Program students will:
• Participate in interactive Faculty experiences
• Get prepared for your HSC with academic skills workshops
• Receive early guidance on the Gateway Admission Pathway
Registrations close 27 August.
