21.01.2022 The "Are You HSC Ready?" program has begun and Year 11 students are already showing an impressive and serious attitude towards their final year of schooling. In the Careers sessions we are discussing post school options, the UAC application process, adjustment factors (bonus points), early entry schemes, scholarships and much more. Year 11 students are encouraged to start booking appointment times with the Rel. Careers Adviser, Ms Shinas, so they can sit down and start discussing post school pathways and mapping out suitable career plans.

18.01.2022 Year 11 students commenced the UTS Hackathon Project with U@Uni last week. This project involved seven schools across NSW in a competition to create solutions to project briefs assigned by UTS. Students collaborated in a variety of team activities, creating and developing strategies and solutions which are essential for success at university and in their future careers. Students were able to negotiate and collaborate effectively with their peers as well as present their project in front of a Zoom audience. It was an interesting an exciting day exposing students to the life of a university student. Congratulations to all our candidates for a successful day. The students involved in the project included Adyan, Gloria, Mariam, Sarah, Sidra, Alaa, Haeba, Nessrin, Shahd and Zaynab.

07.01.2022 Year 10 students attended an excursion at UTS today. With Covid-19 precautions, we set out for an exciting day embarking on our orientation program called U@uni. Students were provided with an opportunity to take on a two year program with the University supporting their educational development and opening up transitional pathways to University when they graduate in 2022. An amazing journey begins today. Good luck to all the candidates who are involved.

06.01.2022 Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of the remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. Origins of Remembrance Day Why is this day special to Australians?... At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. The allied armies had driven the German invaders back, having inflicted heavy defeats upon them over the preceding four months. In November the Germans called for an armistice (suspension of fighting) in order to secure a peace settlement. They accepted allied terms that amounted to unconditional surrender. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month attained a special significance in the post-war years. The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war. This first modern world conflict had brought about the mobilisation of over 70 million people and left between 9 and 13 million dead, perhaps as many as one-third of them with no known grave. The allied nations chose this day and time for the commemoration of their war dead. On the first anniversary of the armistice in 1919 two minutes' silence was instituted as part of the main commemorative ceremony at the new Cenotaph in London. The silence was proposed by Australian journalist Edward Honey, who was working in Fleet Street. At about the same time, a South African statesman made a similar proposal to the British Cabinet, which endorsed it. King George V personally requested all the people of the British Empire to suspend normal activities for two minutes on the hour of the armistice "which stayed the worldwide carnage of the four preceding years and marked the victory of Right and Freedom". The two minutes' silence was popularly adopted and it became a central feature of commemorations on Armistice Day. Credit ... Australian War Memorial
