Principal's ReportA message from the PrincipalTerm 1 has been an incredibly positive, focused and rewarding start to the year at Reservoir High School.Upon our return staff were immersed in two full days of professional learning, as we continue to build a strong culture of ongoing improvement. The theme for this year is “Maintaining Momentum” where as a learning community, we will build upon the strengths of the school and the improvements made over recent years. This will ensure every student at our school thrives and achieves success, both as a learner and as a person.Our students returned with a renewed focus on learning and our senior learners have shown impressive commitment and dedication to their studies.It has been a joy to welcome our new Year 7 students and their families to Reservoir High School. They have very quickly become connected to the staff and other students at our school.  The Year 7 Camp held in week 3 was a fantastic opportunity for our year 7’s to make friends across the year level, engage with their teachers in outdoor activities and games and most importantly, have fun. The Year 7 Parent BBQ, which took place last night, was a delightful evening with most of our Year 7 parents and students attending. Parents, students and staff were able to mingle, get to know one another and establish new partnerships.  The Fair Go Sports Carnival which took place last Friday was a true celebration of everything that makes Reservoir High School an inclusive, compassionate and supportive community.  Our students who competed in the different events demonstrated athletic skill and strength and many others cheered and supported the competitors. Our whole-school Badges Assembly is taking place in week 8 of this term and is an opportunity for us to celebrate student achievement and leadership. Parents of the students selected for Leadership positions will be invited, as have our VCE High-Achievers from last year. It will be a wonderful way to finish up the term, one that has been characterised by excellence.  Kind regards, Katie WatmoughPrincipalPress Enter to type after or press Shift + Enter to type before the widget       Principal's Report Banner Photo

Assistant Principal's Report

A message from Lea Volpe 

Free resources for families of adolescents aged 10 to 14 years

Gallery Image

 

I welcome back all families to what has been a smooth commencement to 2026. I wanted to share with parents/carers a resource that the Department of Education has developed to assist with 10 to 14 year old's. I hope you find these resources useful.

The Department of Education has launched an Easing into adolescence webpage for families of students aged 10 to 14 (Grade 5 to Year 8). 

 

The webpage has information and strategies you can use to help ease your child into adolescence and secondary school. These include: 

  • a guide to emotion coaching. Staff from The University of Melbourne’s Tuning into Teens Kids program developed the guidance.
  • how to support your adolescent with their studies and more. Parenting expert and clinical psychologist Andrew Fuller helped develop this resource.

Subtitles for videos by The University of Melbourne on the webpage are available in 10 languages. You can select your preferred language on the translations page.

 

For questions about these resources, contact the Strategic Partnerships, Transitions and Student Voice team. You can email them at Secondary.School.Transition@education.vic.gov.au.
