Assistant Principal Report

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” 

Aristotle

As we approach the end of term, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all that has been achieved this term. Despite the challenges that we have been presented with and the various health restrictions that we have had to follow, the creativity and adaptability of our staff and students has shown that we have been able to continue our learning and connect with one another as a community. 

 

Our PEEC program continues to be embraced each morning in Pastoral Care allowing our girls the opportunity to begin each day in a positive state of mind. The activities that are delivered aim to set the tone for a positive and productive day. Similarly, despite the rain, our Thursday sport program has also proved successful. The girls have been able to compete in a healthy competition where teamwork, participation and community spirit are valued. 

 

Most notably I thank the staff for providing such enriching opportunities throughout the term, the students for their willingness to embrace such opportunities and to our parents/guardians for your endless support. 

 

Mobile Phones

I would like to remind the girls that there is to be no use of mobile devices from the time a student enters the College gates until the final bell at 3.05pm. Where a student needs to make contact with home/parent during the course of the school day, students should attend the Front Office to use the College phone. Please be reminded that messaging or texting on a mobile device is inappropriate and will result in an after school detention. 

 

Uniform

The wearing of the College uniform reflects our College to the wider community and the expectation therefore, is that all students maintain a high standard of neatness while wearing our uniform. A reminder that the winter uniform is to be worn when the students return to school.
