Our supportive learning environment

We love your energy and enthusiasm

It has been wonderful having our students back into school and learning with their teachers face to face. A school is just a collection of buildings without the vibrant energy our students bring.

Year 12 have just received their Half Yearly Reports. It is an important time for students to reflect on their learning, try and implement the feedback provided and strive for ‘one mark more’ in every subject.

Year 9 are in midst of a busy formal assessment period. A reminder that all learning is important. Teachers will be continuing to formatively assess you. You need to continue to do your best class work and complete your homework. 

Finally some words of wisdom from Mark Zuckerberg: 

Stephanie Haskett

Deputy Principal - Year 9 and Year 12

With around 70 days of teaching and learning left for year 12, students and teachers have been working hard across the school. With year 12 being prioritised through these troubling times, we were happy to welcome back our class of 2020 to continue their studies. 

Reports were distributed in week 6 and it is now time for students to start using the feedback they have been provided to improve their marks and understanding in their subjects. 

When a student is focusing on the process of what they are doing and ticking off their task lists and goals, they get the immediate gratification of achievement incrementally giving them the building blocks to improve and nurturing their confidence.

Make sure every conversation is focused around small improvements, encouraging your child to set goals that are realistic but necessitate some changes in the process to get there. Then, celebrate the wins when they occur. This will make your child feel successful and they will want to continue to improve to keep feeling that.

Help your child strive for a better result each time by making a visual tracking system to track their improvements.
