A Message from the Principal

Dear Parents and Carergivers 

Welcome to a new term. I'm delighted to see our students and staff return, ready to dive into another enriching academic semester. Welcome to the new families joining the  College this week and welcome to our new staff. Alongside our excitement, I want to address some staffing challenges we're navigating. We're committed to maintaining the highest standards of education and support despite ongoing staffing hurdles. Together, with patience, resilience, and collaboration, we'll overcome these challenges and continue to provide our students with a nurturing and excellent learning environment. Thank you for your dedication and perseverance as we navigate this journey together. Let's make this term a memorable and successful one for all.

College Drop-off and Pick-up Procedures

Thank you to the parents and caregivers who follow our procedures. Your support is greatly appreciated. If parents/caregivers are unsure of the Drop-off and Pick-up Procedures, please check the College website (Drop Off and Pick Up). We were informed last term of people continually parking in ACROD Bays, particularly in the Mead Street carpark, without having an ACROD Bay Permit displayed. Please refrain from using these bays unless you have an approved permit. 

Student Attendance 

In reviewing the student attendance data for Semester One, I noted that several students had been absent from school for more than ten days in the semester due to family holidays. We have put together the infographic below for our families. As indicated at the bottom of the chart, there are 365 days in the year of which a student is scheduled to attend school for 184 of those days which leaves 181 days for family time, holidays, appointments etc. 

Peace & Goodness to all,

Ian Hagen

Principal
