Principal's Report

Principal - Janene Rosser

Happy Holidays, Good Luck Year 12 and R U OK?

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays! We wish all our families a safe and restful spring break.  I would like to thank our learning community of students, parents, carers, and staff for the amazing team work, support and learning we have engaged in completed in this term.    

Day 1 Term 4 commences on Monday 9 October, when all students return to school.  There is no pupil-free day to start Term 4.

Good Luck Year 12

We have farewelled our Year 12 students in the final week of this term at our Formal and Graduation ceremony.  Photos of these events will be published Term 4.  In the upcoming school holidays, many Y12 teachers will be supporting students accessing tuition and support through our HSC in the Holidays events, organised by Mrs. White our Head Teacher Teaching and Learning.  I would like to praise and recognise this generous support being provided to Y12 by our wonderful teachers.  In the last few weeks of the term, students have met our Presiding Officer, been issued their HSC examination timetables, and we celebrated their last days of school with fun, frivolity, laughs and tears.  We wish Year 12 all the very best as we head into the examination period saying farewell - Y12 Class of 2023, You’ve got this!

R U OK?

R U OK? Day was Thursday 14 September, where we encouraged staff and students to take the time to check in on each other and start important wellbeing conversations.  Asking this simple question, “Are you okay?” can help change a life.
