Deputy Principal News

Over the past few weeks, I have been away for three days on PD completing the Workplace Health and Safety Advisors (HSA) course for the school. This was a great opportunity to reflect on the amazing work we do as a school to keep our students and staff safe while providing new and enriching educational experiences. I thoroughly enjoyed supporting the Primary excursion and camp, it was great to see student excitement at Wildlife HQ and the enjoyment of a sleep over with their peers. A big thank you for all the work the Primary sector staff, especially Jennie Bryant (cracking pancake recipe) put in to make sure the students could make amazing memories at such a great milestone in their education.

Next week, we have our P.A.T.H Plan meetings for our year 10’s which again is preparing them for another important milestone, transitioning into senior schooling. At the meeting we will be looking to clarify individual student hopes, dreams and goals as well as help identify how our school team can support them towards their future pathway.  The final P.A.T.H. plan will be used to set up goals for their Senior Education Transition (SET) plan, and can also be used to help develop NDIS plans at home.

Finally, there is only 3 more weeks until our School Colour Fun Run. If you have not yet created your profile, I encourage you to do so. Remember raising only $10 for the school means you will receive a prize! We are holding a School Colour Fun Run community sign up day at 8:30 – 10:45am next Wednesday (25th OCT 2023) if you would like assistance to create your profile make sure to come and say G’day.
