Deputy Principals Report

Welcome the half way point of term 4!

This term has provided many wonderful opportunities for Tenterfield High School, with students and staff continuing to make a positive contribution both within our school and the wider community.

On Wednesday 11 November, our senior students had the opportunity to attend the Remembrance Day service in town. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to represent the school and pay their respects on such an important day on the national calendar. I would also like to acknowledge the local RSL for recognising our Remembrance Day display at the front of the school and encouraging members of the community to visit. A special congratulations to staff and students for the time, effort and care they put into creating such a meaningful display. It is a wonderful reflection of our school community and the importance we place on remembering those who have served.

This term, Tenterfield High School also had the pleasure of attending the New England Education Awards, where our school was recognised for its outstanding work with students and the wider community. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the dedication and hard work of our staff and to see their efforts acknowledged beyond our local community. The work that takes place every day at Tenterfield High School makes a real difference to our students, and it was pleasing to see this recognised across the wider New England region.

Our Grandparents Day was another fantastic highlight of the term. It was wonderful to welcome so many grandparents and family members into our school to share in the day and celebrate the important role they play in the lives of our students. The afternoon was filled with plenty of fun, including a few games of music bingo and some terrific student performances. It was a lovely opportunity to bring generations together, showcase our students' talents and strengthen the connections between our school and families. Thank you to Mrs Roberta Koch and the team who helped organise the day.

As we move into what is always a busy period of the term, with assessments and reporting taking centre stage, we also look forward to the many opportunities for students to celebrate their efforts and achievements. Our upcoming Rewards Day at Wet ’n’ Wild is certainly a highlight, along with the range of activities and events that make the second half of Term 4 such an exciting time at Tenterfield High School. I encourage all students to stay focused, continue putting in their best efforts and make the most of everything on offer as we head towards the end of the year.
