Behaviour 

I have seen a huge improvement in positive behaviour across all areas of the College. We have so many students who do their best and make positive choices every day. Thank you to all those who do the right thing every day and to those who are taking steps to improve their behaviour.  

Term 1 Progress Reports 

Progress Reports will be emailed home at the end of this week. The report will indicate progress both academically and attitude, behaviour and effort. Many of our students have made an excellent start to the year and are progressing well through all areas of the College. The upcoming holidays will be a great time to reflect on how you are approaching your schooling and set goals for improvements moving into Term Two.  

Attendance Review

Next week we will be conducting a review of each student's attendance for Term 1. It is important that students maintain an attendance rate well above 90% (even 90% averages out to missing 1 day a fortnight) in order to complete all Certificate courses and classes.

Regular attendance will support you in completing your personal projects, certificates, and classwork. The College will communicate, via Compass, with students and families where their attendance is for Term One. It is our obligation to inform parents and caregivers of our attendance concerns and work with students to improve school attendance where we can.

Plagiarism

We have seen some examples of plagiarism across the Class area over the last few weeks. This has included the use of AI and submitting other students work (past and present). If you are found to be submitting work that is not your own, please be aware you will be required to re-submit part of or all of the assessment, and late penalties will apply.
