Year 6 Students Transition into PCG & Prayers for Our Year 12 Students

As we settle into Term 4, our Pacific community is alive with events, activities, particularly during this transitional period for our Year 6 students, who will be attending Pastoral Care Group each Thursday morning, commencing Week 2. In a wonderful display of leadership and peer mentorship, our Year 9 students led an introductory activity for the Year 6 students during Friday PCG, Week 1 in preparation for this transition. By stepping up as peer mentors, they are not just fulfilling their roles as older students but are also living out the call to care and support one another.  Beginning this week, Year 6 students will join their PCGs every Thursday morning for devotion. This program aims to foster a smooth and calm transition for our Year 6 students, helping them feel welcomed and supported as they step into a new chapter of their school experience.

In tandem with this, our Year 12 students concluded their final week of classes in Week 1. This milestone was marked by receiving feedback from mock examinations, an essential step in their preparation for the external examinations commencing in Week 4. As they enter this critical study period, we extend our best wishes to the Year 12s. We encourage them to utilise this time wisely, focusing on their studies before returning for the Alternate Days Program in Week 7, which includes Graduation, Final Chapel, and the much-anticipated Graduation ceremony.

With the many opportunities that are offered to students across the College throughout Term 4, students are strongly encouraged to say “yes” and positively engage with the aim of a successful end to the calendar year.  By participating in sporting teams, any of the seven Actions groups, music ensembles, debating, and peer mentoring during PCG, students’ sense of purpose and belonging within the College will thrive and increased academic outcomes will be achieved.
