Welcome back to Term 3. I hope you all had a relaxing break and were able to spend some quality time with your family and friends.
Next week we have 46 students and 7 staff visiting us from Fujian Nanping No.1 High School and Fujian Nanping Jianjin Middle School located in Nanping China as part of our cultural awareness exchange program. We have a long relationship with both schools which has been built on fostering mutual understanding, cooperation and friendship. Staff and students are being hosted by Xavier families who are looking forward to welcoming their guests.
On Wednesday there will be a whole of school assembly to welcome our visitors. They will also be spending some time with our Primary feeder schools. This is a great opportunity for both staff and and students of Xavier High School, Fujian Nanping No.1 High School and Fujian Nanping Jianjin Middle School to continue to build upon the strong cultural and educational ties already established.
End of Semester Reports were sent to students at the end of last term. If there are any questions please contact your child's House Coordinator or relevant KLA Coordinator.
Year 12 students have the opportunity for out of hours study to help with their preparation for HSC trial exams. Details of these sessions have been provided and I encourage students to take up this opportunity.
Congratulations to Chris Giannone and his wife Emily on the arrival of their twin boys.
