News in Brief

Tell Them From Me

TTFM_logo.pngThis week, we launched the 2025 Tell Them From Me (TTFM) Survey for parents, students, and staff. The survey will provide us with valuable feedback on what our valued school community members think about school life and will inform our school improvement focus.

All families have now received the survey for parents and carers via the TTFM platform, which is available for completion. We encourage all parents to complete the survey so we can continue to improve our practices to better align with the needs of our families. Please keep an eye on your inbox next week for the survey link.

During Week 4, all students will be given the opportunity and time to participate in this survey during regular school hours. Participation in the survey is entirely voluntary. Your child will not take part if either you or your child do not wish them to. Information has been sent to families, including an “opt-out” Google Form for those who do not want their child to complete the survey.

Year 9 2026 Information Evening – Diversifying Learning Pathways

We warmly invite all Year 8 students and their families to attend our Year 9 Information Evening on Monday 2nd June in the College Hall commencing at 6.00 pm This important event will provide valuable insights into the changes we are making to elective subjects available for Year 9 2026 and how these choices can influence each student’s learning journey through to senior secondary school.

As students move into Year 9, they have the opportunity to personalise their own learning and choose a pattern of study that is unique to their interests. The new elective short courses offer an exciting opportunity to explore these interests, develop new skills, and begin tailoring their education to suit potential career aspirations.

During the evening, we will outline the changes we are making to the traditional elective courses offered across Years 9 and 10 as we move to an expanded range of short course offerings in Year 9 and an expanded range of elective offerings in Year 10.

The evening will also provide an overview of educational pathways leading into Year 11 and 12, specifically focusing on the NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC), including ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) pathways for university, and alternate options such as school-based apprenticeships, traineeships, and VET (Vocational Education and Training) courses.

We strongly encourage all families to attend and partner with us, as this evening marks a key milestone in each student’s educational journey.

Free Parent Webinar: Boys and Young Men
Online 27 May 12.30 - 1.15 pm

esafety_logo.JPG

For boys and young men, the internet can be a place where they seek connection, validation and guidance as they explore what it means to be a man today. However, it also exposes them to risks like concerning content, online exploitation and the growing influence of harmful ideologies.

This free webinar will help parents understand:

  • Social and cultural influences shaping boys and young men.
  • How boys engage online, build relationships and how they may be vulnerable to manipulation or exploitation.
  • The impact of social media, gaming, and influencers on their attitudes, behaviours and sense of identity.
  • Practical strategies to build critical thinking, challenge harmful narratives, and create open conversations that empower boys and young men to navigate the online world safely and respectfully.

The African Children's Choir Returns to Port Macquarie!

We are excited to welcome 14 Ugandan UBUNTU AFRICA friends to our College this term in Week 5.

Fourteen inspiring African Children's Choir graduates embark on an unforgettable eight-week tour along Australia’s eastern coast every two years. They raise vital funds for the education of underprivileged children in Uganda, and with each performance, they share their stories and vibrant culture.

These 14 young people are gifted singers, musicians and dancers who were part of the globally acclaimed African Children’s Choir. We actually hosted the children in 2015. These young people have freshly graduated from High School through the sponsorship of the African Children’s Choir and

are ready to make a significant impact back in their villages in Uganda. As they gear up for university, they are excited to share with us how their dreams have been realised through this inspirational tour. Their Australian Tour is titled “Colour My World”.

Everyone has the opportunity to attend a concert at the Glasshouse on Thursday, 29th May, where they will bring a dynamic performance to our local community, featuring our SAPSS Drumline and Choir performers also.
