Year 12 Legal Studies will be participating in a Law Day Out program run by a facilitator from the Rule of Law Education Centre. This Program creates opportunities for students to hear directly from a judicial officer and to witness aspects of the justice process first hand.

Students will observe the operation of courts, the role of court personnel, the criminal trial process and legal and non-legal responses in action. Students will see the rule of law being carried out in each court, regardless of the matter or what stage the hearing is at.

Date: Thursday, 25 May 2023

Arrival: 8am Students to make their own way to either the Downing Centre or the Supreme Court as advised to meet the facilitator.

Departure: 2:30pm Students will be dismissed from the venue. They will be expected to come back to school if they have co-curricular.

Wear: Full school uniform

What to bring: Students should bring minimal items with them. A small bag with a notepad and a pen, a water bottle and some food. There is no food or drink available for purchase at the courts.

Bag checks: Similar to airports, students’ bags will be scanned, pockets must be emptied, and all digital items must be put in a tray to scan. Students will need to pass through metal detectors before entry to the courts is permitted. You should ensure you have nothing sharp with you (metal cutlery in lunchboxes, compasses or scissors in pencil cases, glass bottles etc). Items found will be taken and disposed of by security. When going through security, everything in pockets must go into a tray. Epipens and inhalers are fine to bring through security.

Cost: The cost of the excursion will be billed to your Term 3 account.

Enquiries to: Ms Theodorou atheodorou@waverley.nsw.edu.au

Permission slip: Parents/carers can view and complete the excursion permission slip in the Parent Lounge by Wednesday, 24 May 2023.

The HSC and Careers Expo is on Friday, 2 June 2023 at the Royal Randwick Racecourse.

This Expo is to allow students to discover and investigate courses and careers for which they may apply for 2024.

The Expo features over 120 exhibitors, seminars on HSC subjects, tertiary courses, careers and study advice. Students should be encouraged to attend seminars and to collect booklets, brochures and information for courses or jobs in which they are interested and intend pursuing as careers.

Students will travel to and from the HSC and Careers Expo by hired buses leaving the College at 8:45am and returning by 11:55 am. The total cost will be $20.00 and will be added to the fees account.

Entry is also valid for Saturday, June 3 from 9am-3pm. Students are encouraged to return to the Expo with their parents/carers.

Please find below the schedule for the Year 12 Tutorials in Term 2, Week 4. Topics covered during the tutorials include content revision, study skills, exam preparation and practice papers. These tutorials have proven extremely valuable and, while not compulsory, are strongly encouraged.

It is important that we know attendance numbers so teachers can prepare accordingly. To that end, the expectation is that students who register for the tutorial, attend. Rolls will be taken to assist us to manage the program.

*The cut-off time to register for morning tutorials is 3pm the day prior.

Ms Brooke Kent has emailed the registration sheet to students to register their attendance at the tutorials.

An excellent opportunity to cover a number of syllabus dot points will be provided for the Investigating Science Year 12 students.

When: Tuesday, 2 May 2023, 8:45am-11am

Essential: All students must wear a mask for the presentation

This excursion will include a 35-minute presentation with the rest of each two-hour block used for the students to complete a worksheet activity and an exploration of the Museum.

Four-hour visits will include a half hour break.

Students will have the cost of the excursion ($13) added to their College account.

Given that the Museum is at Randwick, I would expect that most students will be able to make their own way to the Museum.

The students are expected to return to school after 11am for their Period 5 and 6 classes.

We will use public transport to return.

Wednesday 24 May, 4pm-7pm (AEST)
