Our Head of Senior School.

MS LYNETTE MCGIVERN B.A Dip.Ed, LLB, M.Ed

Senior School encourages our students to take greater responsibility for their learning and to become their own best advocate.

Several times a year, students, parents and mentors engage in student-led conferences, where students are encouraged to lead the discussion around their academic goals, academic strengths and areas for improvement. These sit aside the more traditional subject-specific parent-teacher interviews.

The pastoral care structure in the senior years is designed to support every student in developing a close and consistent bond with at least one adult presence at the College. All mentors have approximately 12 students in their Mentor Group. Students are allocated their Housealigned mentor in Year 9 with the aim for them to remain with that mentor through to Year 12.

Working in pairs, mentors have responsibility for the overall wellbeing of students in their Mentor Group, with the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program facilitated as part of the mentor program.
