Middle School 

Middle School Report

Welcome to 2020 on behalf of the Middle School team.

As we welcome the Year 9 students to the Middle School for the first time, we also wish the Year 10 students a warm welcome back.

I will be leading the Middle School again this year while being supported by a team consisting of Kerrie Logan (Year 10 Coordinator), Phil Berends (Year 9 Coordinator), Andrea Coad (Middle School Office Manager) and Ross Magnuson (Middle School Support Officer).

There will be a number of exciting events happening throughout the year for our students, these include the Middle School Camp to the Gold Coast later in the year, as well as Work Experience and the Debutante Balls for our year 10 students. We are currently taking students' names for expressions of interest for the Camp and Debutante Balls, confirmation of places will be announced soon. Both these events have conditions to attend such as 90% attendance, G.P.A’s must be at least 2.0 and no negative behaviour chronicles.

We have some interesting guest speakers coming to address our year 10 students during their Wednesday study periods. These study periods have supervising teachers and are compulsory. If students are absent, it will affect their attendance.

At the end of Term 2, Year 10 will be sitting their first series of exams. These exams will make up part of their assessment for the first semester, it would be beneficial to start talking to their teachers regarding these.

The first G.P.A scores have come out this week, I urge all parents and students to have a look at them, please contact the relevant teacher to discuss concerns.

We look forward to a happy and productive year in Middle School.
