Year 10

Year 10s can look forward to an exciting and challenging year during which they will experience the pleasures and demands of their outdoor education camp, work experience and course information sessions in preparation for Year 11.

Year 10 is filled with opportunities for social growth and academic achievement. There are many activities in the mainstream of school life as well as in cocurricular areas. Girls are encouraged to follow their interests and become involved in all aspects of school life.

As part of a supportive pastoral program, tutors work with their tutor groups to monitor student progress and guide and assist girls throughout the year. Girls have the benefit of interesting visiting speakers who address them on pertinent issues such as health and drug education. They also learn about safety in the cyber world, friendships, community awareness and a variety of life skills.
