Deputy Principal's Report 

Years 7, 9 and 11

 Another busy term is coming to an end and as reports for Stage 4 & 5 start arriving home we would like to congratulate all students for their wonderful efforts in Semester 1.

We would also like to encourage all parents and caregivers to engage with the Parent Portal on Sentral; as all reports will be accessed through the portal in 2020.

For the whole school will be moving towards electronic assess to Semester 1 and 2 reports for all years. Hard copies of reports will be available upon request through the front office.

Any questions regards the changes to report distribution at Henry Kendall High School, please contact the school directly.
