Around 70 students from Year 10 to 11 from secondary schools across the Diocese attended this year’s Diocesan Secondary Schools Public Speaking Competition.
In conjunction with the Year 12 Extension English Writing Day, the Gifted Education project held a Creative Writing Day for Stage 3 teachers and students.
During Term 3, secondary students from across the diocese competed in the annual Catholic Schools Debating Association Country and State Championships.
The Higher School Certificate (HSC) examinations will soon be here for thousands of local students, their teachers and family members. As a teacher of HSC students for many years and having my own two children take on the challenge, I know first-hand that the next two months will be a trying time for all involved. The HSC exams begin on 16 October with students receiving their results on 14 December.
