‘What a Knight’ Year 6 production
House Shout
Music Assembly

The Year 6 students have been very busy through Term 3 rehearsing for the production of ‘What a Knight’. On Monday afternoon, the Year 5 cohort experienced the matinee performance ahead of the opening night performance. With three evening performances this week, the boys and Mr Dawson are to be commended for their efforts in putting together another successful production. Congratulations to all involved.

To conclude the arts events for the term, the highly anticipated House Shout takes place on Thursday afternoon in the Chapel. All Houses have been learning the vocal parts and accompanying choreography for selected ABBA songs. ‘Money, Money, Money’, ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘Waterloo’ and ‘Dancing Queen’ will be performed with gusto by our houses, accompanied by the staff band. All parents are welcome to attend, and we wish the students all the best for their performances.

Our final assembly for Term 3 is our Music Assembly, which will showcase many musical performances by the boys. We will also be presenting music badges to those students who have performed in two or more ensembles for a minimum of three terms. There are approximately 90 boys who will be acknowledged, and we value their contribution to the Preparatory music program.

Term 4 concludes tomorrow with early finishing times for all Preparatory School boys. Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Pre-Primary conclude at 12.00pm, Year 1 finish at 12.10pm, Year 2 to 3 at 12.20pm and boys in Years 4 to 6 at 12.30pm.

I would like to extend my thanks to all staff and boys for their efforts in making Term 3 so successful, and I wish all members of our community a restful and enjoyable break. I look forward to seeing all boys back at School on Tuesday 13 October.

Head of Preparatory School

Early Offers

This year, the five universities have agreed that there will be two early offer rounds to Year 12 students for 2027 admission:
- Monday 5 October
- Wednesday 2 December
Early offers are only made to a student’s first TISC preference, unlike the main and second round of offers where all preferences are considered. We recommend students pay for their application at least two weeks before an early offer date to ensure their application can be assessed for an early offer. Most early offers will be conditional, so students should carefully read their offer letter so that they know what is required. Students should also be aware that not all courses are available for early offers. Generally, courses with high demand/limited places, and university enabling programs do not make early offers, but for specific lists of courses excluded from early offers, check the university websites. Early offers will continue to be made based on final Year 11 results, as it is not feasible to use mid-year Year 12 results. Accepting an early offer will not “lock” a student’s TISC application in the way that accepting a main round offer does – they are still able to change their preferences. However, in some cases, the university may specify a condition that the course preference remain the student’s first preference for the early offer to remain valid; if in doubt, the student should contact the university that has made the offer.

Access to the Nexus after 2026

We would like to advise parents that access to academic records on Nexus will cease towards the end of this year. We would therefore recommend that parents and boys take this opportunity to download and save copies of previous school reports and other records for future use.

Year 12 – final transcript of results and updated Predicted ATARs

No Year 12 reports will be issued at the end of Term 3. Instead, a final transcript of results will be made available via Nexus in Week 3 of Term 4. This will provide a final record of the marks and grades for the year, taking into account all coursework and internal examinations, as well as an updated Predicted ATAR. Parents will be advised by email when this document is ready to be downloaded.

Important Academic Dates 2026

Year 12 is a fast and frenetic year – it is very helpful if parents, as well as boys, are aware of key dates. The dates can be found here.

Please take particular note that if your son is studying a subject with a practical exam, he must be available during the Term 3 holidays for this exam. SCSA issues these exam times and will not make alternative arrangements where the times are deemed inconvenient by parents. They also do not accede to parents’ requests for particular dates and times.

In short – please do not make any plans to travel interstate or overseas with your son during the Term 3 holidays.
