Congratulations to our 2024 College Captains
Congratulations to Lily Cochrane, Mitchell Blackwell, Keilah Dewar and Charlotte Scott on their appointment to the 2024 ESC College Captain portfolio.
The 2024 College Captains will continue to lead the student cohort in building a culture of high expectations and excellence at our college.
The 2023 College Captains, Ethan, Caiti, Jackson and Hayley set a very high bar in their leadership year, and I am sure our new College captains will continue with the good work that has started, to ensure that each student continues to flourish at our school.
We look forward to acknowledging all our school leaders at next year’s investiture assembly.
Building Program
Our appointed architects have been very active in mapping out the various stages of our Master Plan, in several stages, prioritising college needs, in concert with the latest funding.
As you can imagine, our old favourite, G Block is front and centre in our discussions, notwithstanding a look at some of the rooms in E Block and a very leaky roof!
In our next newsletter, I will be able to give you a more definite answer about how the College will move forward with the building project.
Transitions and busy times
Schools are busy places at this time of the year.
This week, our Year 10s going into Year 11 will step up into their VCE subjects for 2024. There will be some holiday work to complete.
Other year levels continue with their assessments, and this is also a very busy time for all our staff as they are marking exams and CATs and writing reports.
Orientation
Last week we met with our new Year 7 students and their families at our Transition Information Evening as part of our extensive Orientation Program. This is something that we pride ourselves in. Every 2024 Year 7 student has been visited by an Emerald SC co-ordinator in the last month, to make the transition process that little bit easier.
The State-wide Orientation Day is much later this year and will take place on Tuesday, 12 December
