Work Experience
All Year 10 students will be attending two weeks of work experience Week 2 and Week 3 of Term 2, April 28th to May 9th. The students will be 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. A number of students have already organised their two weeks of Work Experience. All students need to create a USI number and complete the General Safe@Work certificate and the Safe@Work certificates of the related industry a.s.a.p.
Camp
This year our Year 10 students hopefully may 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.
School Photos
All Year 10 students photos will take place during Term 2, on the 16th May this year.
Defence Force Talk
All Year 10 students attended a Defence Force information session on Wednesday last week to look at Careers available in each of the forces.
Athletics Day
The school athletic sports will take place on Tuesday 4th March and we are hoping for a great turn out of students at this event.
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 LBU reports at or above 3.5 as well as growth reports.
