Deputy Principal's Report 

Graduation

The College celebrated the graduation of the 2020 class on Friday 20th of November, the ceremony was a huge success. Congratulations to all scholarship and award winners and a special thank you to our sponsors for contributing to the event. 

Enrolment Days

Our Enrolment Days for incoming 2021 students took place on Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th of December.  These are important days designed to best prepare new students for the start of the 2021 school year.  Students were provided with their 2021 course programme and subject options and have the opportunity to try on and purchase uniform items.  It was also an important opportunity for parents and students to share information with the College so we’re as best prepared as we can be to meet the needs of incoming students.

Semester Two Reports

Semester Two Reports will be emailed to parents in the last week of term.  These reports will provide details of their son’s / daughter’s 2020 course, OLNA and VET achievements.

Year 10 Work Experience   

Year 10 students will be completing a four-day block of school-authorised work experience at the end of Term 4 (Monday 14th to Thursday 17th December). The teaching and training staff are hoping to visit most students on site during their work experience placement. If parents have any questions regarding this work experience programme they should contact me at the College. 

Advanced Wool Handling

Seven Year 11 Students were recently involved in an Advanced Wool Handling course. Students received training in wool pressing, preparing wool for classing and performance of shed duties. The course was co-ordinated by Darren Scahill with South Regional TAFE providing the training and assessment. Units achieved can be used towards the Certificate III Agriculture and Certificate III Advanced Wool Handling qualifications.
