Assistant Principal - Mrs Sparke

STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) is a burgeoning area of curriculum interest - for students and for staff. For three exciting days this week, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, several of our staff were involved in a workshop with Sydney University academics to extend their understanding and experience in this area. The partnership with Sydney University will be ongoing through 2019.

Exams have continued this week and conclude tomorrow. The students were largely organised and well behaved and I thank them for their cooperation. Mobile phones and Smart devices are not allowed in the exam room - students need to make prior arrangements for their secure storage during exams.

A reminder for Year 10 students that the NESA window for reaching Minimum Standards is currently open. It is a requirement that the Year 10 cohort of 2018 have achieved a minimum Band 8 result in each of the NAPLAN domains before they can receive a HSC in 2020. Mrs Martin, Leader of Pedagogy, will be sending email reminders to each of the students who have not yet reached this benchmark.
