Year 9 SRC

Outsiders Day

Towards the end of term 2 the Year 9 students enjoyed Outsiders Day. This was a day to celebrate our study of the novel The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hinton. Many students were encouraged to get involved through the costume and writing competitions.

We further connected to the novel with the ‘Stay Gold’ letter writing activity, allowing us to write to someone we feel the story reminds us of. Students got to explore a range of cars from the 1960s, and ended the day by watching the film adaptation of The Outsiders.

Thank you to all the staff and student leaders who ensured it was a positive and exciting experience for all Year 9 students.

Ignatius Day SRC Dunk Tank

We are excited for the upcoming Ignatius Day. The SRC looks forward to a fun, successful day filled with pride in our College community. We encourage you to take part in the festivities and be involved in the many activities running on the day.

As part of the celebration the SRC will be hosting a dunk tank. Students have been given the chance to vote for teachers they wish to be dunked.

Every student is welcome to participate on the day with $2 for one ball throw and $5 for three ball throws. All money raised goes to charity, we can’t wait to see you there!

Year 9 Exams

The SRC would like to congratulate the Year 9 students for completing their first ever set of Semester exams. We should all be proud of the effort, resilience, and dedication shown throughout the exam period.

We can all take some time to celebrate our hard work and reflect on future opportunities to improve and grow.

Subject Selections

Finally, just a reminder that on Tuesday 21st of July, all Year 9 students will be given a copy of the 2027 subject selection form and participate in the Subject Selection Expo. This gives students the chance to speak to staff and discuss possible subject options. The form should be used as a draft version before any final decisions and completed before Mentor Time in week 3.

During Mentor Time in Week 3, Year 9 students will be supported to complete and submit their subject selections online via Web Preferences. Web Preferences login details and instructions for accessing the online subject selection system will be emailed to students beforehand. All Year 9 students will be able to finalise and submit their preferences in this session with the support of their mentor teacher.
