Principal's Report

Remembrance Day

Monday 11th November 2024 was Remembrance Day – a day for us to remember those who have served, died, or suffered in all wars and peacekeeping operations. The annual observance also acknowledges the service of Australian Defence Force members on active deployment. Remembrance Day marks the date in 1918 when the First World War came to an end. It is officially observed at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

To mark Remembrance Day we held a service at school, to pause for a minute’s silence to remember people's service and sacrifice.

Headstart Program – 2025

A reminder that the Year 11 into 12 Headstart program will begin on November 18th.  This is a great way to start 2025, and the students’ final year at the College.  Where possible the Year 12 teacher for next year will take the class, and when this is not possible the current Year 12 teacher will take the class for the two weeks. Students will have received their Headstart timetable and during the next two weeks over forty separate face-to-face Year 12 classes will begin.

The Headstart program for students in Year 10 to 11 2025 will begin on the 2nd of December.

As mentioned in earlier reports, we have needed to run a tighter timetable than in the past due to the state (and nation) wide teacher shortage. Any queries regarding the Headstart program can be directed to myself or a member of the Senior School Team.

Warm Weather – Summer – Term 4 Hats

A reminder to all that Term 4 is a hat term.  All students and staff are expected to wear hats during term.  We would also ask parents/carers to have the discussion with their students toensure that the summer uniform is worn appropriately.

Any families requiring support with their uniform are asked to contact the year level teams and or relevant Student Wellbeing Coordinators.
