This term the Year 12’s finished with their Celebration Day on the 24^th of October, which was an enjoyable and festive way to end their official classes. There were lots of inventive and funny costumes and the Karaoke produced some aspiring vocalists. The student leadership created a fantastic video visually showcasing their six-year journey, and a big shout out to the Faith leader Josed Sawadan who led this effort. The following day we had one of the biggest days of the College year – Year 12 Graduation. We had Graduation Assembly where the current leaders officially handed over the reins to the new leaders of 2025. We look forward to working with these leaders and carrying on the great ideas and representing the student body as the leaders of this year have done. This day also encompassed our Graduation Mass, Graduation Ceremony and culminated in the Valedictory Dinner at the Hyatt Place Essendon Fields. Here we were entertained by the amazing musician and vocalists in this cohort, and we say thank you to them for taking time out of their nights to perform for us. The Year 12’s and their families had a great night celebrating their last time together as a cohort after six years together.

We wish them all the best in their exams and in all future endeavours.

The Year 10 and 11 students have started their end of year exams which finish on Thursday 14^th of November. The Year 11’s have a reflection day on the 15^th and the Year 10’s a VCE Induction Day. Then on Monday 18^th there is an exam feedback day where they can reflect and assess how they studied based on their results. They can reflect on; did they study and prepare effectively; did they utilise their study skills; what worked well and where do they need to improve in the future.

The Year 10 and 11 students start transition on Tuesday 19^th, and this continues until Friday 29^th of November which is the Afternoon of Excellence and their last school day of the year. They need to be focused and ready to go in transition right from the beginning. It is an exciting time as they begin Units 1 and 3 in their subject classes and LM. The teachers they have may not be the same as in 2025, as the timetable is not fixed at that time. Students need to come prepared and ready to work contentiously, asking questions and ensuring they know the holiday homework that needs to be completed to begin 2025 successfully. This enables them to set themselves up to ensure their next years at Caroline Chisolm Catholic College are full of commitment, enjoyment and success.

On behalf of the Sacred Heart team, I would like to wish all our families a joyous Christmas and a happy and safe holiday period as this is the last report from us through the newsletter.
