Term 2 promises to be another significant period at Siena College. Next week, we celebrate St Catherine's Day with the College Eucharist at St Dominic’s Parish and various activities organised by our Student Representative Council. It is a time when we reflect deeply on the Dominican Sisters in the Solomon Islands and our fundraising efforts support their community initiatives.

Term 2 is also a time for students to contemplate their learning and wellbeing goals as they prepare for end-of-semester assessments and examinations for students in Years 9, 10 and 11. The Enhancement Program will assist all students in managing time, prioritising their work and preparing for exams. Students will be encouraged to strive for personal excellence so they can take pride in their achievements.

In Term 2, ensuring Child Safety continues to be a top priority at Siena College, emphasised through our Wellness Program. We have arranged guest speakers to cover essential topics such as Cyber Safety for Year 7 and Responsible Partying for Year 10 students. Furthermore, a student led assembly will delve into these matters, aligning with Siena’s commitment to fostering respectful relationships as part of our broader educational approach.

GSV Sport continues to provide numerous opportunities for students to engage in sports and compete against other schools. All students are invited to sign up for one of the sports on offer. We eagerly anticipate gathering with the entire Siena community at events such as the Night of Jazz, the Mother's Day Breakfast and the Careers Showcase. On behalf of the Siena College staff, I extend best wishes to all our students for a successful and enjoyable Term 2.
