Message from our 

Campus Principal

Hello everyone,

As we look forward to the upcoming holidays, it is also important to remember that we still have some items on our calendar for this term.

This week, students started their Common Assessment Tasks (CATs) for all core classes.  These will be finalised by the end of next week and then students will receive feedback on ways to improve their outcomes.

Today during a radio interview, the Federal Minister for Education, Jason Clare spoke about the need for students to achieve a Year 12 pass in order to meet the requirements for jobs in the future. 

Good learning habits need to be established well before Year 12.  Maintaining organised workbooks, whether physical or digital, having all the necessary equipment, actively participating in all lessons, completing the work, and reviewing the day’s learning prior to the next class will help students be successful in Year 12.   

Parent, Teacher, Student conversations are a fantastic way to hear from teachers firsthand how your child is performing in each class and their areas for improvement.  Students are encouraged to attend and be an active participant in their learning. 

You can book your appointments via Compass from the 6th of September. 

Conversations will be running on the 14th and 15th of September with Thursday’s session from 3:30 until 7 PM and Friday from 10 AM until 1 PM. 

Each term I have the pleasure of sharing a lunch with our student leaders.  It is always a privilege to hear their ideas for improvement, ways to support all students to feel included, and what we already do that is valued by our students. I am always impressed by how well our leaders conduct themselves in these meetings and when representing the school.  

Year 7 students will be participating in the annual Thinking Championships which will be held in the last week and a half of term.  Students join with others to compete in teams, solving problems and demonstrating their learning in a way that is not traditional.  It is one of the highlights of the Year 7 program. Many thanks to Russell White for his organisation and dedication to the program.
