Swim trials
Chapel services
Upcoming Parent Forum
SchoolTV

It was great to see all of our boys settle into the Christ Church Preparatory way of life, in what was a busy and hot first week. All 34 co-curricular activities are up and running and it has been great to see so many of our boys take up either before or after school pursuits. Additionally, summer sport training commenced for Years 5 and 6. All of the House, Chapel and Class Captains for Term 1 were presented to the School community, with Liam Tam, the Preparatory School Captain. I would like to congratulate all of our leaders and wish them all the very best in their roles.

All our students in Years 4 to 6 will be taking part in the swim trials today. We look forward to congratulating all those boys for their efforts and particularly those selected, who will represent the School at the upcoming Inter School Swimming Carnival.

This Friday will see the whole school come together for our first Chapel service for the year. Reverend Russell, our School Chaplain, would like to extend a warm welcome to all families and wishes to invite them to attend Chapel services throughout the year.

I would like to invite parents to join me for the Term 1 Parent Forum. These will be run each term to update families about specific focus areas and provide the opportunity to ask questions about the Preparatory School. The Term 1 Parent Forum will elaborate on the Preparatory School’s focus areas for 2024 and will take place Tuesday 13 February commencing at 8.30am in the Preparatory School Staff room. If you are interested in attending, and can attend in person, please RSVP your attendance here. If you would like to join virtually, please refer to your son’s Year Group notices on CCGS World closer to the event for the livestream link.

As part of the School’s commitment to the health and wellbeing of our boys, all parents have access to SchoolTV. SchoolTV provides schools with a range of comprehensive resources to assist with educating and empowering parents to best support student wellbeing. The website publishes articles, research and case studies on varied topics throughout the year and can be accessed here.

Many of our classes took part in a Chinese learning about the Year of the Dragon in the Global studies room as a way of celebrating the Chinese New Year which takes place this Saturday. Happy New Year – 新年快乐.

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.

Blazer Run

The final blazer run for Year 12, Colours, Honours and awards will commence from Friday 18 September to Friday 25 September.

Please bring your blazer to the Uniform Shop during the Shop’s normal trading hours, with all badges removed, pockets emptied, and your blazer clearly named. The shop will have your blazer dry-cleaned as part of the embroidery process.
