Senior School
2019 was our first year spent as a ‘sub-school’, known as the Senior School. From the beginning, Year 11 and 12 students were joined by their Mentor Group letter rather than their Year Level number. Each fortnight, they participated in Year Level activities, facilitated by each separate Mentor Group. Although the Sub-School was a foreign concept at first, bonds began to form, advice was passed on, and an understanding of the level of effort required by those completing VCE studies was shared amongst all. This year, the Year 12 cohort were a little unlucky with fires compromising their Retreat, heat impacting the Swimming Carnival and rain being the winner on the day of the Athletics Carnival. However, they were lucky enough to have the privilege of occupying the College’s very first common room fitted with a kitchenette and an open space for the Year Level to retreat to. Year 11 students were also privileged to participate in a new initiative called ‘Care Day’. A day centred on selfcare, environmental- care, and teambuilding. Many Year 11 students and all Year 12 students undertook the rigor that is Unit 3/4 VCE. We congratulate them on their efforts and perseverance during this time. It is never easy, but it is always worth it. The Senior School Mentor Teachers and I look forward to spending the final year of secondary school with the current Year 11 students in 2020. We also wish the current Year 12 students the very best of luck for their futures. We will be forever proud to call them ‘Ave Girls.’
