As we approach the end of Semester 1 and Term 2, it is timely for students to reflect on what they have achieved and things they can improve. Some possible considerations include:
Semester 1 reports will be available on Friday 8 July for Year 7 to 11 students and Term 2 reports for Year 12 students.
As part of the completion of the Capital Works, the Governing Council has approved the establishment of a working party. Currently we refer to buildings such as the Maths block, HASS and Languages. However as our school is growing many teaching spaces will deliver more than one subject and so naming of the teaching blocks needs to change.
