Coordinator: Kris Austin

I hope you have all had a safe and happy start to the new year. I am very pleased to be the Years 9 & 10 Coordinator for 2019 and am looking forward to greeting our returning and new students on Thursday.

You are welcome to contact me at any time and I look forward to establishing strong home/school relationships. My office is the small one on the ground floor of Blackhall next to the staff room. Please feel free to drop in any time.

Home Group teachers

Home Group begins promptly at 8.50am. Ideally, all students should arrive at school around 8.30am to give themselves enough time to be organised for an 8.50am start. Home Group is an important part of the day to welcome students, make connections, frame the day's learning, ensure that essential information is shared - and to mark the first roll of the day.
