I have always seen Term Three as the real business end of the year for secondary schools. By the end of this term Year Twelve have completed their studies and would have graduated at their final assembly on the last day of term. So it is a time when all staff are completing courses, revising, supporting students with specific external projects and completing Higher School Certificate paperwork. I sincerely wish all of Year Twelve the best for this term and I hope that they maximise their final term of schooling. Our senior debating team this term successfully made it to the state semi-finals of the Premier’s Debating Competition. They were narrowly defeated by North Sydney Girls High School but have had amazing success reaching this stage of the competition. Debating is very competitive in this region, let alone on a state level, and I would like to congratulate the whole team – Ben Frohlich, Alena Payne, Sofia Davey, Jake Rexter and Kiera Hayden for their effort and success, as well as Ms Scobie, Ms Harrip and Alexandra Yates for their support and commitment to the team and debating at Kotara High School.
