From the Principal

P&F SEMINAR MEETING TUESDAY 1 JULY – HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE TO FIND A BALANCE IN THEIR LIVES AND RELIEVE STRESS
Next Tuesday at the monthly P&F meeting, the College will host a seminar to assist parents to help their children find a balance between study and other aspects of life, with tips to relieve exam and other stress. Stress in today’s society is a very topical discussion point. College psychologist, Lorna Joy and Mary East, from Massage Break, will both facilitate this session. They will discuss how to use complementary therapies as an alternative strategy for stress management. Newly appointed Deputy Principal, Mr Joe Sciorilli will also be in attendance. Please register your interest by contacting the College through Reception.

YEAR 8 – 12 SEMESTER ONE REPORTS
All students will receive their Semester One Reports at 3.00pm on the last day of Term Two, to take them home. There are some changes to the look of the senior school reports, in keeping with the modifications to assessment. The results received by Year 10 students this semester will determine their selection of courses for Year 11. Any queries should be directed to Deputy Principal, Mr Jeff Allen.

Please note that reports will not be distributed prior to this day for any reason. The reports for students who are absent on the last day will be mailed to their homes during the school holidays.

APPLICATIONS FOR ENROLMENT YEAR 7 2010
If your child is presently in Year 5, please ensure your Application for Admission Form is submitted. The selection process will be commencing soon.

STAFF FAREWELLS
On behalf of the Kolbe community, I would like to farewell the staff who will be leaving us at the end of Term two.
Mrs Desiree Rawlings will be leaving us to take up a position at Hale College after being with us since 2005.
Mr Graham Roy will be leaving to take up a position at Murdoch Institute of Technology
Mrs Silvana Vicoli will be leaving us to concentrate on family duties.

We thank these teachers for their dedication to the teaching profession in their time at Kolbe.

We wish Miss Louise Scharf all the best as she spends 18 months away from Kolbe, mostly in Japan on an exchange teaching program in Ako City. In addition, Mr Mark Rotondella will be on Long Service Leave for six months, whilst Mrs Erica Bentley will be on leave in Term 3. Both staff will be spending some of their time overseas. We wish them well!

We have concluded the appointment of teachers to cover these positions. I will formally introduce them through the first Newsletter next term.

IMPORTANT DATES FOR TERM 3
Term 3 commences on Wednesday 23 July, an important academic term for the majority of students. The staff will commence the term with a two day Staff Conference that will focus on the how we can maximise the use of ICT in the College. Please note the Office will be closed on Monday 21 July.

Year 10 students and parents will attend the Year 11 2009 Subject Selection Evening on Tuesday 29 July in the Sports Hall. Information will be sent home with students in the first week of the term. Please keep this date free.

Third term will conclude on Thursday 25 September. All other significant dates are on the calendar, which is available on the College website.

May God bless our students and families over the term holidays. Please keep safe and return to us well rested.

Mrs Caroline Payne
