Hello everyone and welcome to this addition of The Gap State High Schools newsletter.

Running very fast, to the end of our first term of 2024 and there are a couple of events that I would like to talk to you and remind you about.

Next week is Harmony week and all things around harmony and celebrating diversity and multiculturalism will be happening at The Gap SHS. Thanks to the amazing leadership of our Head of Department, Mr Yeong Gwon, we have the best Harmony week that the school has ever seen about to be launched. I hope you get to hear lots about it and your young people really enjoy what is on offer next week,

Quickly on the back of HarmonyWeek, we are solidly preparing for The Gap Experience event and that happens very early in Term 2, in fact, Thursday afternoon in Week 1.

Please remind, share, put it in your calendar, and make sure you come and join us in having the experience at The Gap SHS that evening, to find out about all the new and older more established programs in our excellence spaces and some new and exciting ideas we have to grow and nurture our young people at The Gap SHS.

Until next time, thanks everyone.
