Recently, at Senior Assembly, I spoke about motivation – the reason for one’s actions, willingness and goals – and asked students to consider their motivation for school attendance. Some students may be struggling to keep motivated to work on assessment tasks, complete homework or even attend. We understand that students should be motivated to attend school because it opens up future opportunities, builds essential life skills, provides support and social connection, and prepares them for success in both their careers and personal lives. More simply, going to school might feel tedious at times, but it can unlock a solid future and cool opportunities, and there’s always plenty happening – besides learning – at school. Recent events include the Army Band workshop and performance, the REP Pizza Day and representative sport.

Exam Block

Year 11 students may have exams in the upcoming exam block. Students must attend exams at the time specified. If a school-based traineeship/apprenticeship work day clashes with an exam, students must contact their employers to reschedule their work day.

Rehearsing the procedures of an Exam block develops skills and prepares students for Year 12. Please encourage your student to plan their study and exam preparation to the best of their ability and to reach out if they are having challenges.

Reminders

High attendance is required not only for successful learning, but qualification for extracurricular rewards such as eligibility for the Senior jacket and 2026 leadership roles. We appreciate your support with assisting students to have the required equipment and uniform. As always, students are expected to wear the correct uniform and hat and seek uniform assistance as needed.  Students and parents are reminded that at school, to enable successful learning, students are to keep mobile phones off and away, to not chew gum and to be on time to all lessons.

Please get in touch via email or the school office with any queries or concerns.
