Please also read the Careers Information on Teams from Alan Ferris. One student has already organised his two weeks of Work Experience. All students need to create a USI number and complete the General Safe@Work certificate and the certificate of the related industry a.s.a.p.
Camp
This year our Year 10 students hopefully may be going to Tasmania in the second last week of term three. Information should be out to students after School Council approval towards the end of March.
School Photos
All Year 10 student photos took place on Wednesday February 14th.
Defence Force Talk
All Year 10 students attended a Defence Force information on Tuesday to look at Careers available in each of the forces.
Athletic Sports
The school athletic sports will take place on Tuesday 27th February and we are hoping for a great turn out of students at this event.
Attendance
This year we will be trying to increase student attendance rates especially at Year 10. We would really appreciate a phone call to the 24-Hour attendance line if your child is absent from school. This helps our attendance officer track students and improve our % attendance for each student.
PBS
Students can receive a KPA SMS message to parents from teachers each lesson for positive behaviour. Students are also receiving postcards for displaying consistent behaviours for the four school pillars of Excellence, Relationships, Work Ethic and Engagement. This year we will be rewarding students with great attendance to school and for GPA reports at or above 3.5 as well as growth reports.
