From the Acting Leader of Wellbeing Year 10
Ms Breeze and I are pleased to see Year 10 students continuing to make great progress in 2025, demonstrating commitment to their learning and personal growth. A highlight of the term so far has been the successful launch of the Year 10 Peer Tutoring initiative last Wednesday. This program provides an opportunity for students to support one another in a mutually beneficial learning environment, strengthening both academic understanding and collaboration skills. If any students are interested in joining the program, we will be reopening the application form on Monday.
We also take this opportunity to remind students and families about the College’s home learning guidelines, which can be found on page 22A of the College planner. Year 10 students should be spending 90–120 minutes each night on home learning. This includes:
- Completing unfinished classwork
- Revising material covered in class
- Creating study notes and preparing for assessments
- Researching and expanding on topics studied that day
There is never a day where a student should feel they have "nothing to do." Even when all classwork is complete, ongoing revision and study are essential to academic success.
Finally, as the workload increases, it is important that students maintain a healthy balance. The Australian recommendation for recreation and physical activity is at least 60 minutes per day, and incorporating this into their routine will help manage stress and maintain overall wellbeing.
Thank you for your continued support in ensuring Year 10 students thrive both academically and personally this year.
With warm regards,
Mr Nathan Weaver
Acting Year 10 Leader of Wellbeing
