Principal's Report

Dear Parents, Carers, Families and Students,

Term 1 is in full swing and it is wonderful to see our students embracing their learning in classrooms and around the College.

The recent Swimming Carnival was an excellent opportunity for our students to enjoy some time outside of the classroom to build connection with one another as well as competing in the pool. The next whole school event is the College Athletics day on Thursday 31st March. The Athletics Day is a fantastic day of activity and competition for all students.

Student progress reports will be completed soon followed by Parent teacher conferences on Monday 4th April. These will again be online with appointments opening in the coming week. The reports have recently been redesigned to assist in a clear understanding of student progress in relation to their learning as well as areas for improvement. The reports include a numerical ‘grade point’ style value that enables parents and students to identify progress in relation to both individual subjects as well as learning behaviours. Following the release of the reports the parent teacher conferences provide an excellent opportunity for parents and students to obtain more detailed feedback regarding progress and strategies for further improvement.

International Women’s Day will be recognised at the College on Tuesday 8th March. The theme of the day this week is ‘Breaking the Bias’. Staff and students have been showing their support of this day and theme by showing the symbol of an ‘X’ with their hands. 

Thanks to some of our student leaders, Eman Haidari and Jordan Paton for their work in creating an excellent display in the Library to support awareness of the day.

Our College has also finalised our Student Represtative Council (SRC) for 2022, with the most recent additions being 2 Year 7 students Rylan Reeves and Peyton Zerafa. I am also very pleased to announce the addition of a student wellbeing leader in the College.
