March News - What's on in the PCS this week?

Schools are busy and dynamic places. Students across the PCS have participated in many activities during Term 1. In addition to all of the wonderful learning in classrooms students have also had the opportunity to participate in a variety of other opportunities such as: Open Nights, Year 7 2013 Extension Class Test, Harmony Day Celebrations, Swimming Carnivals, Cross Country Carnivals and Athletics Carnivals to name a few!

Macquarie University? hosted high school students from across the PCS at the Women in Science last week. It was a girls only day –the day highlighted the impact women have had on science, and will have, on the future of science. The students had the opportunity to meet and hear from some of Macquarie University?'s prominent female scientists, researchers and teachers and learn about their amazing contributions to this field.

The PCS Music Festival and NAIDOC Week Committees have been meeting and planning the celebrations for later in the year. Stay tuned for more details.

Students from Years 11 have settled into their pattern of study with all Preliminary Subjects well underway. Our Year 12 students are beginning a two week assessment period in the lead up to the end of term. Best wishes to these students.
