Guilford Young College

Newsletter 4 | March 12

From the Deputy Principal

What does it mean to be to be a successful Guilford Young College student?

As we commence our academic year, we look forward to seeing our Year 12 students graduate from the College having successfully lived the values of GYC. The Lux Nostra - Graduating Expectations for Guilford Young College provide a standard for students to aspire to, as they make the most of their time at the College.

We will write to families later this term with more details on these expectations. However, students have already been provided with the general expectation categories:

  • Growth – self-development through participation in our DoSomething!@GYC program.

  • Courage – taking responsibility for meeting the student code of conduct.

  • Connection – engaging with learning through regularly attending school and completing assessment tasks.

  • Connection – engaging with the community through Home Room, and College faith and cultural activities.

We look forward to supporting our students as they seek to live life to the full.

Mathew Derrick – Deputy Principal
