Principal's Report

Computer screen - Zoom Award Ceremony

Regional North Operational Directorate – Excellence Awards

Quinn Robertson was recognised this week for outstanding educational leadership, which was exemplified during the challenges of the learning from home period. In her role of Campus Leader at Cooks Hill Campus, she was incredibly responsive and supportive to the needs of both her students and Advisors.

Quinn’s leadership ensured that the Campus continued to deliver excellence in teaching, learning and assessment. Utilising technology, Cooks Hill Campus staff maintained their delivery of individualised project based learning, ensuring accountability of students, whilst maintaining a strong focus on student wellbeing. Student learning and wellbeing was supported through daily Advisor and student check-ins, and with daily class conferences providing, collaboration, engagement and opportunity for student feedback.

A measure of success in regards to the quality of service provided by Quinn and her staff to the school community during this time, was evident in 100% of student and family participation in student exhibitions via zoom. I would like to congratulate Quinn on receiving her Excellence Award and thank her for her dedicated and passionate leadership in our school. I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of our committed Advisors who contribute to the success of our Cooks Hill Campus site on a daily basis.
