2024 has been an exciting and eventful year for our Year 10 Cohort.   

New friendships and support networks were formed. For many of our students their focus was on developing the skills to balance the increasing academic rigour of their subjects with their involvement in Co-curricular programs. The Year 10 students were consistently well represented in School events, performances, Debating and sports representation.   

Term 2 started with our Year 10 Wellbeing Retreat in Marysville. We were lucky to have beautiful autumn weather, and our Cohort embraced the opportunities to consolidate their friendships and build new relationships. Students went on hikes and bike rides through the forest, had an incredible House dance competition and participated in mindfulness activities. The true highlight was seeing our students support each other and become more connected as a Cohort.    

Semester two saw many Year 10 students working towards completing their Leadership Diplomas. Many initiatives were planned and run by our students to raise awareness, donations, and funds for issues that they were passionate about. Seeing our students speaking at assemblies and engaging their peers in various human and environmental issues on local and global scales was inspiring to see, as was their commitment and creativity in running events.   

As the Year 10 students prepare to transition into VCE, they should reflect on a successful 2024 and continue to embrace opportunities going forward.
