Term break hasn’t slowed our students down. The Snow Centre has been busy with students tackling past exams, writing up notes, working with tutors and teachers, and practising blurting: writing down everything they can recall on a topic, then checking it against their notes to find the gaps. This is part of our Senior Study Programme and Tailored Academic Support sessions for CGS students. An almighty thanks to Mr Dunkley, Director of Educational Opportunity, and Ms Muller, Enrichment and Scholarship Coordinator for making it happen. ...
We’re singing this from the rooftops!
Congratulations to Year 12 students Angus, Sarah, and Luca who’ve all been nominated for ENCORE, the yearly showcase that displays outstanding major works in music. About 5,500 students study music as an HSC subject, and just 60 or so are chosen for ENCORE. Wow. Just wow! This result shows the opportunities for HSC students to be recognised far beyond the classrooms and exam halls. ...
If you looked out the window yesterday and thought, 'what a lovely day to be outside!' — you would have been jealous of our Senior School students. ☀️
The music was blasting from the Reach for Nepal bake sale, the barbecue was busy, and House colours were everywhere. It was a beautiful day to be out on the oval, whether students were competing or cheering from the sidelines.
Our Year 12s were embellished with tutus and face paint for their final School sports carnival. They gave it the colour and spirit it deserved, and made the most of one more day together in the sunshine.
Well done to everyone who participated, and we look forward to the remainder of festivities in Week 10. ...
