Year 10 Term 3 Newsletter Update

Term 3 has been a busy and exciting time for our Year 10 students as they’ve focused on preparing for their transition into Years 11 and 12—and beyond! With transition plans front and centre, students have engaged in a range of experiences designed to deepen their understanding of career pathways and future opportunities.

Here are some of the highlights:

• UTAS Cradle Coast Campus Excursion
  Our whole grade visited the UTAS Cradle Coast Campus, where students explored courses in Agricultural Science, VR and Drone Technology, Psychology, and Social Sciences. A special moment was our walk on Country with a local Elder, which was both insightful and grounding. Many students left feeling inspired, with some now seriously considering university as a future pathway.
• Australian Defence Force Incursion
  We welcomed representatives from the Australian Defence Force, who shared valuable insights into career opportunities across the different divisions, as well as information about scholarships available to prospective applicants. It was a great chance for students to ask questions and explore this unique career option.
• Apprenticeships Information Sessions
  Experts from the Department for Education, Children and Young People, along with Apprenticeships Australia, visited to speak about the wide range of apprenticeships and traineeships available. Their guidance on how to apply and what to expect was incredibly helpful, and students appreciated the opportunity to speak directly with professionals in the field.
• Hellyer College Enrolment Evenings
  In Week 8, we held our annual Hellyer Enrolment Evenings. Staff from Hellyer College met individually with each Year 10 student and their families to finalise course selections and complete enrolments for 2026. It was a fantastic milestone moment for our students as they took a big step toward their senior years.

Congratulations to our Year 10s on completing their transition plans and securing their enrolments for 2026! We’re proud of your efforts and excited for what lies ahead. As we head into Term 4, let’s keep up the momentum—monitor your attendance, stay engaged, and continue striving to be your best.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you at our end-of-year dinner and activities. Enjoy a well-deserved break—you’ve earned it!
