From the Associate Principal

Many things are happening at the College at the moment and Term Four is moving along rapidly. As I sit here writing this article, our Year 12 ATAR students are finishing their final exams. In the very short time that I have known them, I wish them all the best and I hope they have accomplished all that they set out to achieve during their time here at the Agricultural College.

It is a timely reminder that our Year 11 ATAR students have their exams coming up on the 22nd of November. The students have been given the opportunity to work with teachers during class time and also during prep time. They should make the most of these opportunities and engage with the appropriate resources whenever they can. The exams will take place in the Recreation Centre at the College. The timetable for the examinations is as follows:

I have been working with students on individual basis, tracking their progress towards achieving their WACE. I have been impressed with the way that the students have engaged in the process and the manner in which they have spoken of developing strategies to improve or maintain their progress and achievement. I am also conversing with the Year 11 ATAR students and discussing their predicted ATAR for 2022. I thoroughly recommend a discussion between parents and ATAR students to determine appropriate courses of action moving forward.  Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further.

I would once again like to reiterate my sincere appreciation for the communication that exists between myself and parents and students. This link allows for the development of positive relationships by all stakeholders, and the structure of the College is unique in fostering these connections. In particular, I challenge all Year 11 students to continue to develop these relationships with their peers. By nurturing and developing these relationships, we will promote an inclusive environment where everyone feels trusted, respected and appreciated. This positive landscape was the first impression I had of the College and one that I speak very highly of to other administrators within the educational domain.
