Reedy Creek

As we journey through what has been a vibrant and inspiring term, we’re excited to share just some of the many highlights from high school life. Our days have been filled with energy, curiosity, and celebration as we continue to champion student success and create rich, purposeful learning experiences. At the heart of everything we do is a deep commitment to recognising growth and ensuring every student feels supported, challenged, and empowered to thrive.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND REPORTING

Celebrating Academic Progress
This term, we proudly hosted an Honours Assembly to recognise the academic achievements of our Year 11 students. Celebrating student success is an important part of our culture. In Term 3, we look forward to acknowledging outstanding achievements in Years 7–10 and Year 12.

Assessment, Exams and Reports
Throughout Term 2, students engaged in a range of assessment activities, including assignments, in-class tasks, and Exam Blocks.

  • Reports for Years 7–10 will be available on the Parent Portal during the holidays.
  • Year 11–12 results and Learning Habits will be accessible via Compass.

Semester 2 Assessment Schedules
Assessment schedules for Years 7–11 will be released early in Term 3. Year 12 students have already received their schedules.

SUPPORTING STUDENT SUCCESS

Supporting Year 12
ATAR predictions have provided valuable motivation for our Year 12 students as they prepare for their final exams. Please keep them in your prayers as they continue their journey with focus and determination. The QCAA external exam schedule is available here.

Attendance and Punctuality
Consistent attendance is critical to student achievement. Our Heads of House and Teaching and Learning team are working closely with families to meet our 95% attendance goal and ensure every minute of learning counts.
