Dean of Studies | Mr Mason Hellyer
Welcome back to students and parents to Term 3. During this week, I have had the opportunity to speak to every year level, examining Semester 1 academic performance and setting goals for the term ahead. An essential element of academic performance is to actively reflect on the previous term's results. To assist students with this reflection a number of processes will occur.
Firstly, on Wednesday next week we complete our Parent/Teacher interviews. Secondly, students will meet with their PC mentor for academic mentoring during College Assembly time in Week 2. Thirdly, Years 5-10 students will move through an active reflection and goal setting process in their Formation classes. This process culminates with the creation of the Term 3 Study plan. Finally, Years 11 and 12 students will have Academic Mentoring interviews with their House Deans and members of the College Leadership Team. Consequently, I encourage parents to continue discussion with their son’s regarding their academic goals for this term and importantly their plans to achieve them.
Over the first half of Term 3 there are a number of Parent Information Evenings to be held online:
- Year 12 2021 Extension Information Evening, 22 July, 6pm – 7pm
- Year 11 2021 Subject Selection Evening, 27 July, from 6pm
- Year 9 2021 Subject Selection Evening, 3 August, from 6pm
- Year 12 QTAC Information Evening, 17 August, from 6pm
Further information regarding these evenings will be communicated to the relevant year levels via email and the Terrace App.
