From the Head of Senior School

Stand Tall 

Stand Tall is a TedX style event for secondary students bringing a host of speakers together in one location to arm students with the skills of resilience, the strength to stand up to bullying, the keys to motivation, the power of perspective and the benefits of making good and wise decisions.  

Last week our entire Year 10 and 11 cohorts travelled to Dubbo to participate in the inaugural regional Stand Tall event. It was a huge day of wonderful speakers sharing impactful stories, live performances and an amazing freestyle motocross display during the lunch break. A fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. 

Learning Support Review 

Kinross Wolaroi is conducting a review of the learning support offering in our school. This review will be run by staff from the Australian Independent Schools (AIS) Learning Enhancement Team. 

As part of this review, the AIS have devised a survey to gain feedback on our current learning support offering. It is important that we gain insights from various members of our school community to ensure that the AIS have a full perspective on our students and their needs. Regardless of whether your child/ren access learning support at Kinross Wolaroi School, we would be grateful if you could complete the survey, which should only take five minutes of your time.

Many thanks in advance for your participation and support.
