Subject selections:

Our Year 10’s have been working through a careers program to help structure their pathway and subject selections for Year 11, 2027. We will be having a parent information session on Friday 29th May to coincide with the early close.

Closed Weekend:

Just a reminder we have a closed weekend coming up. The College will close at 2pm on Friday 29th May. Boarders return on Monday 1st June at 2pm and school resumes for all students on Tuesday 2nd June.

Exam weeks:

Year 11 and 12 exam weeks are fast approaching. It is essential that students are preparing thoroughly by committing to consistent study, staying organised, and seeking support when needed. Minimising absences during this time is critical to ensure students are fully prepared and able to perform at their best. Consistent attendance, focused revision, and good habits now will make a significant difference to outcomes.
