Principal

On a personal note, I am excited about returning to work this term after my Long Service Leave for the latter half of Term Two. Although I thoroughly enjoyed my leave, it was refreshing to return to our vibrant school community this week. I thank our Assistant Principal, Justin Hird, for his excellent work as Acting Principal during my absence.

As you are probably aware from the letter emailed home Tuesday, the process for students selecting their 2019 subjects has already commenced with the publication of our 2019 Course Selection Handbook (available via the “publications” tab on CSC website) and the presentation of parent information sessions over the next few weeks (please see the letter emailed home July 17 for more specific details). On Tuesday 31 July there will be no classes for any students at CSC, but all students are expected to attend a mentor interview with their parent or guardian to make their initial subject selections for 2019. Although Years 7 and 12 students will not be involved in selecting subjects for 2019, there will still be the opportunity for these students and their parents or guardians to meet with their mentors on the day to discuss general progress at the halfway mark of the year. Again, please refer to the letter emailed home on July 17 (also available under “publications” on the CSC website) for more details about making appointment times on this mentor interview day.

Unfortunately, I might not see many parents and guardians when you visit the school on July 31, but my reason for being busy on this day is exciting! The tender process for appointing architects for our final stage of building has commenced, and I will be involved in interviewing a shortlist of architectural firms on July 31. The successful firm will be appointed very soon after these interviews, and planning for our final stage of building will commence next month. I will continue to keep the school community updated about the progress of our building works.
