Last week, our Year 12s completed their final SACE external exams. All girls are to be congratulated on the way they approached their final exam block with focus and commitment. Mr Matthew Hawkins is thanked for his coordination of the exams as are Mrs Lina Rogers, Mrs Assunta Fusco, Ms Jill Bradford and Mrs Heather Hale for their calm and efficient supervision of all exams.

On Monday this week, we welcomed to the School all new Senior School girls who will be starting at Wilderness in 2023. The girls enjoyed a morning of Science activities with their buddies and also met with key staff to begin their preparation for next year. Mrs Simone Burzacott-Gorman and Mrs Maria Criaris are thanked for their coordination of the Science activities for all girls.

Next week Year 10 and 11 girls will begin their Semester 2 exams on Monday. These are an important practice for future SACE Stage 2 exams that the girls will undertake in Year 12. If girls wish to remain at the School during the exam block instead of returning home to study, the Learning Commons will be open for their use during the day.

Finally, a reminder to all girls in the Senior School that they will be expected to attend the Advent Service on Monday 5 December at St Peter’s Cathedral at 6.00pm. Speech Night will be held on Tuesday 6 December at 6.00pm with a rehearsal for all Year 12s and prize winners at 10.45am. The dress for both of these important functions will be summer uniform with blazer and white ribbon.

It is also important that all girls are at school in the final week as Year 10s will complete a Science minimester and the Year 11s will undertake a range of activities which will help them with their preparation for Year 12 in 2023.

Duke of Edinburgh Students Seed Propagation

On Wednesday 16 November, 12 Year 10 students headed down to the Walkerville Rotary Club to give service for their Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award. The girls were involved with propagating seeds which will eventually be used to revegetate areas of the Yorke Peninsula. We are grateful for this long-standing relationship with the Walkerville Rotary Club and hope to be involved in the planting of these seedlings in 2023.

Well done to all of the Silver girls who contributed their time to varied service projects through their Award this year.
