Work Experience
All Year 10 students will be attending two weeks of work experience Week 2 and Week 3 of Term 2, April 22nd to May 3rd. The students have been arranging a placement or two during their team-time classes this term. Please contact Sheryl Tangi or Alan Ferris if you have any issues. Please also read the Careers Information on Teams from Alan Ferris. 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. All students are expected to have two weeks of placement.
Camp
This year our Year 10 students hopefully could 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 or early April.
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.
