Term 3 Update

As we conclude Week 6 of Term 3, we find ourselves deep in the core business of learning and teaching. This part of the term is a vital phase in the learning journey, where students are given the opportunity to refine their work and demonstrate their understanding through assessment. It’s an exciting time, filled with growth and achievement, but it can also be challenging.

Academic Support

At Assumption College, we are committed to supporting every student to reach their potential. We encourage students to check in with their teachers, attend academic support sessions, and make use of the Thursday afternoon tutoring available at the College. These opportunities are designed to provide extra guidance and build confidence as students navigate their academic responsibilities.

Set Plan Interviews

Our Year 10 students have now completed most of their SET Plan interviews, a significant milestone in their educational journey. It has been a privilege to sit alongside students and families as they explore future pathways and make subject selections that align with their goals and aspirations.

Year 12 Academic Coaching

Looking ahead, Year 12 Academic Coaching sessions will begin shortly. These will be the final coaching sessions for our seniors, and they come with a sense of anticipation and reflection as students prepare to transition beyond school. We are proud to walk with them during these final stages and are committed to helping them finish strong.

External Exams - TCS EEPP Program

Preparation for external exams is well underway. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the TCS EEPP program, which runs during the holidays and is open to all students. Information about this valuable opportunity is attached. Additionally, our mock exam timetable for Week 9 will be shared with families to support planning and preparation.

Academic Pin Ceremony and Aspirational Achievemnet Awards

Recently, we celebrated our Academic Pin Ceremony and Aspirational Achievement Awards, recognising students who strive for excellence in the classroom. It was a joyful occasion that honoured both high achievers and those who demonstrate consistent effort and determination. These students are an inspiration to us all.

Subject selections for 2026

Finally, a reminder that subject selections for 2026 will be communicated to families soon. Thank you to all students, families, and staff who have supported this important process.

Let us continue to work together to support our learners with compassion, encouragement, and high expectations.
