Churchill Avenue News - Edition 23

As we transition into the second half of the academic year, I am excited to share some wonderful updates and reflections with you.

We have recently concluded our exams, and I am pleased to report that the Exam Feedback Day was a tremendous success. This day provided our students with a valuable opportunity to learn from their mistakes and understand their areas for improvement. It's important to remember that while grades and scores are significant, the true essence lies in the feedback. By focusing on constructive feedback, students can identify their strengths and work on their weaknesses, fostering a growth mindset that will benefit them throughout their academic journey and beyond.

Our Year 12 students celebrated a fantastic night at the Year 12 Formal. The event was a testament to their maturity and exemplary behaviour, making it a memorable evening for everyone involved. The formal was not just a celebration of their hard work and dedication, but also a symbol of the strong bonds and friendships that have been forged over the years. It was lovely to see our students enjoying themselves in such a respectful manner.

As we embark on Semester 2 classes, we open the door to new and exciting opportunities. For our Year 12 students, this marks their final semester, a pivotal time to consolidate their learning and prepare for their next steps, whether that be further education, training, or entering the workforce. We encourage them to make the most of this period, focusing on their goals and aspirations.

For our junior students, the start of new electives is an exciting chapter. These electives allow them to explore diverse subjects, igniting new passions and interests. Whether it's diving into the arts, exploring the sciences, or engaging with technology, these courses provide a platform for students to discover what truly excites and motivates them.

As we move forward, I encourage all students to embrace the new opportunities that Semester 2 brings. Whether it's through learning from feedback, celebrating achievements, or exploring new academic interests, there is much to look forward to. Together, let's continue to support our students in their educational journey, ensuring they have the tools and confidence to succeed.

In this season of new beginnings, let us also turn to our faith for inspiration and strength. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." As we navigate through these new opportunities, let us commit our efforts and aspirations to the Lord, trusting that He will guide and bless our endeavours. With faith and perseverance, we can look forward to a future filled with hope and fulfillment.

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our school community.

Warm regards,

Laura Ruddick
