From the Principal Team
Term 3 is nearing an end and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff and wider school community for their support throughout the term. Another busy term with classroom learning activities our priority and an impressive range of co-curricular events happening over the past eight weeks, highlighting the range of opportunities offered to our students by dedicated and caring staff.
This week we celebrated students who achieved high results in their recent SPA reports. Congratulations to all these students featured further in this newsletter.
WORK EXPERIENCE WEEK
The last week of term three has been set aside for work experience for Year 10. All students must undertake a work placement during the week September 14th -18th .
Parents are asked to follow this up with their son/daughter to ensure they are making the necessary arrangements.
Some students have already organised their placement for the week with the assistance of their parents or Mary-Ann Linehan. Any student who is struggling to find a work placement should be discussing a possible placement with their Industry and Enterprise teacher, or Mary-Ann, as soon as possible. The placement can be anywhere in Victoria as long as the correct forms are completed and signed.Year 10 classes will still be scheduled for students that have completed their work experience or for students unable to organise a placement during this scheduled week.
TERM 4 - SUNSMART
Shepparton High School is a sunsmart school and as such, each student must wear a broad brimmed hat when outside, whether it be walking from the lockers to the canteen, playing sport on the oval or simply walking around the school. Students are free to select a hat of their choice, provided it is of a conservative colour, and the brim is at least 5cm wide.
Baseball caps are not permitted. Navy broad-brimmed hats are also available for purchase for $5 from the bursar.
