Year 10: Building a Positive Culture and Moving Forward Together

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to reflect on the journey that Year 10 is taking as a group. We’re at an exciting stage, a time where leadership, growth, and resilience can really start to shine. However, like any journey, we sometimes encounter challenges that give us the chance to pause, reflect, and reset our focus.

Recently, Ms Breeze and I had to address some situations where past mistakes or choices have been used to create unnecessary drama. While each incident was different, they all shared a common theme - looking back at the past instead of focusing on how far we’ve come and where we’re headed.

The good news? Year 10 has already shown time and time again that we are capable of rising above negativity and supporting each other in a way that strengthens our group. As we move forward, we’re encouraging everyone to focus on contributing to our school culture — a culture where acceptance, accountability, and growth are at the heart of what we do. Here’s how we can all contribute to this positive culture:

Leave the past behind: We all grow through our experiences, and focusing on the present allows us to celebrate how far we’ve come.
Celebrate each other’s success: A supportive environment lifts everyone up and helps us all achieve our best.
Be accountable for our actions and words: Let’s choose to make a positive impact on those around us.

Year 10 has so much potential, and it’s exciting to think about what we can achieve when we work together. By continuing to build a positive culture, we set the standard for the younger year groups and lead by example.

In the spirit of recognising growth and achievement, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of Year 10 students who have recently represented the College at NSWCCC selection carnivals:

John-Paul Abou Chaaya – U16 Boys Football
Micheal Kenny – U16 Boys Rugby League
Amia Moussa – U16 Girls Rugby League
Saige Prats – U16 Girls Football
Mykaela Beattie – U16 Girls Football
Amelia Farag – U16 Girls Football

Sophia Zerafa – U16 Girls Football

These achievements are a testament to the dedication and commitment shown by our students. Let’s continue to support and celebrate each other’s successes as we move forward!

Well done, Year 10  let’s continue to contribute to the positive and supportive culture together.
