Senior School, Term 3 Week 7 2026
Welcome to Spring at Pulteney Grammar School. Please note the following:
Tuesday 1 and Thursday 3 September: Learner Conferences
Our Learner Conferences commence this evening, Tuesday 1 September. These conversations are a wonderful opportunity for families and teachers to connect, reflect on student progress, and celebrate achievements while also considering next steps for growth.
A second round of conferences will be held online on Thursday 3 September, providing another important occasion to continue building strong partnerships between home and school.
Our staff are looking forward to engaging with parents and caregivers, and we thank all families who are joining us for their support in making these important conversations a success.
2027 Student Leadership
We wish all of our Year 11 students who have nominated for 2027 Student Leadership positions the very best of luck.
This week, students will participate in interviews, providing them with an opportunity to share their thoughts about our school, their vision for the future and the contribution they believe they can make to our community.
We thank all students who have put themselves forward for these important leadership opportunities and wish them well throughout the process.
Thursday 17 September: RU OK? Day and World’s Greatest Shave School Fundraiser
On Thursday of Week 9 there will be a “splash of yellow” casual clothes day with a $2 donation.
We encourage all students get involved on the day to help raise funds and awareness of the RU OK? Foundation and the Leukaemia Foundation. On the day there will be a bake sale along with lolly bags for sale in the quad. There will also be live music, picnic blankets to sit on and games available for students to partake in. All funds collected on the day will be donated to the RU OK? Foundation, and to the Leukaemia Foundation.
There are some guidelines that students need to adhere to, mostly due to health and safety requirements. Please refer to the following so that it can be an enjoyable and safe day for all:
- Shoulders must be covered (i.e. no strapless or singlet tops to be worn)
- Slogans and logos must not be offensive
- Shoes must cover feet properly (i.e. no thongs or ugg-boots)
- No heavy make-up (as per normal School expectations)
- Different jewellery may be worn, but still only one set of earrings
- Long hair must be tied back (as per normal School expectations)
- The day is not a costume or dress-up day ie. no ‘onesies’, no pyjamas
If your child has PE on the day, they are still expected to wear appropriate clothes for exercising in, although this may be non-PE uniform sports clothes. We look forward to an enjoyable day whilst raising important funds.
Tuesday 8 September: Year 9 into Year 10 Senior School Parent Information Session
We are looking forward to welcoming parents of current and future Pulteney students to our Year 9 into Year 10 Senior School Parent Information Session. The session will cover:
- Welcome to the Senior School presentation
- Overview of the Year 9 to Year 10 transition plan
- Curriculum outline and key information for parents
- Tour of the Senior School
This session will provide parents with valuable insights into the transition from Year 9 to Year 10, outlining curriculum pathways, routines, and expectations in the Senior School. It is also a chance to become familiar with the people and environment that will support your child in the years ahead.
Osmond St Cafe
This Friday, our Year 10 Creative Industries students will be selling coffees and other products at the Osmond St Café. Please come along and enjoy a hot drink, some conversation and support our students. I hope to see you there.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
