Principals Report

Dear Parents and Friends,

 

Though certain people may seem to have that  'je ne sais quoi' that inspires others to follow their lead, the ingredients of true leadership aren’t really a mystery -  integrity, good communication, confidence and the ability to inspire.  Last week we proudly announced the Year 11 students who have been successful in their applications to become our College captains for 2019.  Congratulations and well done to School Captains: Hemang Bheda and Lauryn Simi-Etuale and Vice-Captains: Jarrod Pretty and Saad Jasim.

 

We know these amazing students are going to do a fantastic job supporting the school and acting as role models for all the other students - congratulations!

Our VCE students began their first examinations this week, beginning with their English exam on Wednesday morning.  Our thoughts are with all of our senior students over the coming weeks as they tackle their final exams and begin planning for their futures after high school.

 

Shepparton Education Plan Update:

Please find attached to this newsletter a copy of the Master Plan for our new secondary school  with an image of the Master Plan for the school with more information regarding the proposed design.

There are some Frequently Asked Questions on the Engage Victoria website which we will continue to update as the Shepparton Education Plan progresses.

The current Frequently Asked Questions provide information regarding the House model, transition for students, transportation arrangements, and school uniform.  We are working hard to progress further with other aspects of the school’s design which will incorporate not just the infrastructure; but also the school house model, educational and curriculum design, and an integrated student health, wellbeing and support approach.  https://engage.vic.gov.au/SheppartonEducationPlan

The most frequently asked question from the community has been regarding the logistics of managing the students on one campus. With the release of the Master Plan we have been able to represent how this will look more clearly through the House model which will be a number of multi-storey buildings across the site.

We have also developed a short video regarding the Shepparton Education Plan – available here. https://youtu.be/il6T3C5eNCo

 

The Shepparton Education Plan is an opportunity for schools, families, education providers and community agencies to be involved in a transformational project to improve educational outcomes for our young people in an inclusive and supportive environment.

 

We encourage all our families to participate in future community and school engagement activities, and check the above website regularly for updates.

 

Kind regards

Claire Kelly
