Principal Team's Message

Welcome back to our students in 2022 

It has been a busy and very productive first term. Our students have participated in a wide range of activities and programs throughout the term. We were fortunate to run our very successful swimming carnival, NAPLAN practice tests for years 7 and 9, various inter-school sports, Project Rocket, Year 12 Big Day In, student leadership workshops, study skills programs, year 7 and 8 camps and other extra- curricular activities. Our students have demonstrated outstanding participation in these activities and adhered to our school values of respect, resilience, responsibility and endeavour.  

Thank you to all of our staff during this term, who have demonstrated their commitment to student learning and wellbeing. They have been adaptable, creative and collaborative, as they have worked together to make the transition back to school as smooth as possible for our students. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to discuss your child’s progress, strengths and areas for improvement. 

We wish all our students, parents and carers a safe and relaxing holiday and to take some time to reflect on their achievements in first term and be ready to be on time, on task and prepared for learning when we return for Term 2. 

Increased health and hygiene measures 

A number of very important health and hygiene practices continue to be implemented in the school. 

Uniform 

Wearing full and correct uniform is important to our school community. Throughout the term we have reminded all students about the expectations of wearing full school uniform and the clear consequences if they choose not to. 

Windcheaters and coloured long sleeve tops are not permitted to be worn at school.  

We remind families that plain white socks are to be worn (no markings) and black leather laced school shoes are the only footwear permitted to be worn to school.   

Jewellery Policy Reminder 

Students will be asked to remove them immediately and parents of persistent offenders will be contacted. Students are only able to wear a stud.   

Attendance Policy Reminder 

Thank you to parents/carers who have continued to communicate with the attendance officer their child’s absence. Attendance is linked directly to student success and achieving satisfactory achievement across all subjects. At the senior years, 90% attendance is required for students to be eligible to acquire a satisfactory pass at Units 1, 2, 3 and 4.
