Interviews are now complete! A warm thank you to everyone for your participation and consideration during these events. For those of you who, due to specific circumstances, emailed a subject teacher to request a conversation outside of the interview dates, we will endeavour to facilitate these conversations within the first two weeks of Term 2. Activities Week commences on Monday and most teaching staff will be supporting and accompanying students on a wide variety of activities and will therefore be unavailable during the school day. Next week we will invite parent feedback via a survey available through News Digest. All comments will assist to inform our approach to Term 3 Parent Teacher Interviews.
Next week promises to be a wonderfully fun-filled week of myriad educational adventures as students are invited to 鈥楽ee the Possibilities!鈥. The weather is looking spectacular with a few days in the high twenties 鈥 don鈥檛 forget the sunscreen!
Year 7 and Year 8 students will head off to camp, and we look forward to hearing about their learning experiences through the many activities on offer during the camps. No doubt, they will have much to share upon their return.
Year 9 students will participate in an Arts and Technology focussed discovery of Melbourne City, 鈥樏厣 in the Interconnected City鈥. The program offers enrichment of student understanding in the Arts and Technology subjects through carefully selected city experiences. 秘色传媒 will reflect upon these experiences as a source of inspiration to explore ideas, technologies, sustainability, and community, through the lens of 鈥楤e Possibility鈥, as the basis of a Term 2 unit of work within their Arts and Technology elective. The culmination of the students鈥 engagement will be displayed in the SITC Showcase, on June 1.
Year 10 and Year 11 秘色传媒 have the opportunity to engage with a variety of activities offering further development of study skills, careers profiling, engagement with alumnae, body image workshop, leadership workshop, first aid workshop, and university tours, culminating with Melbourne City experiences on Thursday. With the range of experiences, the week offers many opportunities to further all aspects of student development.
Year 12 秘色传媒 have the opportunity to reflect upon their learnings of Term 1 and to further connect with our College theme, 鈥楤e Possibility鈥 during their retreat.

The Term holidays are a great opportunity for our students to relax and be reinvigorated. We expect that the Years 10 to 12 students will dedicate some of the holiday period to completing set work, preparing for Term 2 topics and revising for their Semester Examinations. Year 7鈥9 students will not have any set home learning over the holidays, but we do encourage them to continue with their wider reading.
I wish our students, parents and guardians a well-deserved break and a joyful Easter.
