Welcome back to Term 4! It is important that all students engage in their learning and maximise the opportunities to consolidate and improve the knowledge, skills and capabilities that have developed across the year. In particular, I thank the staff, students and parents for the wonderful way we supported each other during the return to online learning@home for NSW students in Term 3. Whilst challenging, it is a credit to all parties that these students engaged so effectively in their learning during this time. 

The Year 12 students have been immersed in preparations for the External Assessment block, which commences on 22 October across Queensland. Following a challenging eight-day Mock External Assessment block at the end of last term, coupled with the excellent Toowoomba Catholic Schools External Assessment Preparation program run across the September holidays, the students have been provided with extensive feedback in relation to their knowledge, skills and capabilities around the external examinations. The Year 12’s are working extremely hard in collaboration with their teachers to finalise preparations across the first three weeks of term and we wish them all the best as they head into their final exams. 

I enjoyed celebrating the successes of our students at the Award’s Night. It is a wonderful way to recognise the exceptional achievements of our students across all aspects of the school environment. Congratulations to all those award recipients.  

God bless
