HouseUpdate

Due to the various restrictions in place this term we have been re-arranging our Prizegiving and end of term events to ensure we can still acknowledge all student achievements and have some appropriate end of year assemblies in our School Hall.

Therefore, for the purposes of your diaries I was keen to publish some updates to our calendar for the last week of this term.

Monday 6 December 2021:

• 9.30am - Year 12 Valedictory Assembly and Prizegiving
• 11.30am – Year 7 Prizegiving
• 1.45pm – Year 8 Prizegiving
• 6.30-10.30pm – Year 12 Valedictory Dinner (Novotel Manly)

Tuesday 7 December 2021:

• 9.30am – Year 9 Prizegiving
• 11.30am – Year 10 Prizegiving
• 1.45pm – Year 11 Prizegiving

Wednesday 8 December 2021 – last day of school for all K-12:

• 9am – Kindergarten Prizegiving
• 10.15am – Years 1 and 2 Prizegiving
• 11.45am – Years 3 and 4 Prizegiving
• 1.00pm - Year 5 Prizegiving
• 1.45pm – Year 6 Prizegiving

Students will have classes and activities on campus on each of the days through until the end of Wednesday 8 December. Therefore, Monday to Wednesday will have normal school attendance expectations. The previously broadcasted secondary prizegiving, scheduled for Thursday morning, will no longer take place due to the smaller events planned earlier in the week.  

More details will follow regarding parental attendance and Covid protocols. 

Year 10 Pastoral Program - Tomorrow Man/Woman Workshops

As part of Pittwater House’s Student Pastoral Program the Year 10 students will commence a series of two workshops from the Tomorrow Man  and Tomorrow Woman organisations this coming Friday 26 November, with the concluding workshop being in Week 2 2022 at the Yr11 Retreat. They are programs that we are very excited about involving our students in and hope that it assists in forming young men and young woman that can be confident and resilient in the world today.

The workshops explore important issues around reinventing the concepts of femininity and masculinity and look to provide the students with the skills to empower them to confidently express their needs and opinions in the moments that matter in the coming years.

We hope that the students find the workshops to be of great benefit to themselves as well as to the Year Group as a whole. Please get in touch if you have any queries about the program and I encourage you to discuss the content with your son or daughter after Friday’s workshop.
