Principal's Report

GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK TO THE CLASS OF 2018

This week is the final week for our Year 12 students, before they begin their final exams. They will be farewelled at a special P-12 assembly on Wednesday 24th of October.

On November 27th students, their families and staff will attend our Valedictory night where we will formally acknowledge the end of 13 years of schooling for these students.

Our Year 12 teachers have been working very hard to support our students and they should be commended for the work and extra hours they have invested into helping our students achieve their goals. I also extend my thanks to the Head of Senior School Bree Hudson, all teachers, support staff, parents, guardians and families who have supported and encouraged these young people to achieve their goals throughout their entire time at Carwatha College P12.

It is with some sadness that we farewell these young people we have watched grow from little Year 7s and in some cases preps, in too big uniforms and with a bag as big as themselves, to young adults, through all the turmoil of teenage years, and we wish them every success in the future. On behalf of the whole school community, I would like to wish the class of 2018 the very best for their exams and for the future.

All unit 3 and 4 classes will be continuing for students who are currently enrolled in year 11. I ask for parental support to ensure that their children continue to attend school during this very important time. Staff will be providing students with past exams and giving them advice and instruction on how to prepare for their exams.

Our annual Arts and Technology Show will be held on Tuesday October 30th. Our students have completed some outstanding pieces of work which will be proudly on display. Thank you to all of the Arts and Technology teachers for all of the work involved in putting the show together. Congratulations to our incredibly talented students for their outstanding work. Awards will be presented at a special ceremony in the evening. I encourage all members of our school community to come and see the marvellous work that has been created. The work will be on display in the MPC building located at the front of the school until Wednesday November 1st.

Our prep transition program has been running this term, if you have children ready to commence Prep in 2019 please contact Mrs. Sheila Horn to organise enrolment.

Year 10 work experience will be commencing on November 26th. It is expected that all students participate. If you are having problems finding an employer please contact our careers staff, Kylie Borchers and Pam Naylor right away.
