FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Welcome to 2023!
We have had a great start to 2023 with a lovely positive ‘vibe’ around the place. Year 12 students have settled into the final year exceptionally well and the Year 7 students are adjusting well to their new environment and routines. A very warm welcome to the new families joining us in 2023.

My thanks to the mentors and Heads of Learning Areas for assisting our new staff to settle in.
Compass
The Compass platform is our means of communication. Students need to check the Compass News Feed every morning and keep a close eye on their timetables for special events.
I would urge parents and guardians to check Compass regularly for information and updates.
Compass is accessible via the internet and the Compass School Manager App (download via the App store on your device).
School Calendar
On the school website the calendar of events provides everyone with upcoming excursions, incursions and school events.
Child Safe Standards
All staff have undertaken the 6 monthly workshop on the Child Safe Standards. All schools and institutions the involve children and young people have to provide training for staff every six months. The link to our child safe standards is below:
Year 7 Parent Morning teas
Thanks to all of the parents/carers who were able to attend the recent morning teas. They are very quick with limited time and staff sometimes on yard duty; however, I hope you were able to meet with at least a couple of your child’s teachers, coordinators and the principal team.
We have Three Way Conferences coming up at the end of term when you will be able to book a time to speak with teachers.

Congratulations to our 2023 Student Leadership team, we look forward to working with you this year.
