Whole School Assembly Report by SRC
On Tuesday, 20th February, we had our first Whole School Assembly of the year.
All year levels gathered to commence the ‘Welcome Back’ announcement, with a lovely speech from our great principal, Mr. Smith, who spoke positively on the school’s behalf, announcing the new School leaders and (Class as well as House) captains, handing out awards, introducing and welcoming the new teachers.
The Assembly had an overall optimistic attitude to everyone present. Guest speakers were willing to speak about the future of the year twelves, after their Aspiration Day, to discuss future options after year twelve and wished them well.
The school Assembly ended on a positive note.

Year 12 Aspiration Day
On Thursday, 15th February, our Year 12 students visited Federation University in Berwick for 'Aspiration Day'. Our students were involved in a series of workshops that aimed to improve their readiness for Year 12, develop their study skills and provide individuals with strategies and techniques to manage the stress and anxiety associated with Year 12.
We wish our Year 12s a very successful year.
