Dear Parents and Carers, 

Over the past 4 weeks I have had the opportunity to visit another local high school and reflect on our colleges progress and achievements over the past 5 years.  Our college has achieved a great deal in a very short period of time and much of this credit goes to our amazing staff, students and college community.  It seems like just the other day that we opened our college and welcomed our first group of Year 7 and Year 8 students.  

This year we celebrate the graduation of our first cohort of Year 12's and I can't wait to celebrate this momentous occasion and their remarkable achievements. As we countdown to this historic occasion our eyes are firmly fixed on the future. 

Throughout this year, we have undertaken a whole school review of our progress and achievements to date.  In such a short time we have achieved some remarkable results and we are increasingly being recognised at the state, national and more recently international level. As part of this whole school review process, we have created a draft whole school Strategic Plan for 2025 - 2028.  This "big picture" plan outlines what will be our focus and priorities moving forward.  I have attached a copy for your perusal and welcome your feedback and input as we seek to finalise and endorse this Strategic Plan by the end of this term. You are welcome to provide feedback via email at feedback@ripleyvalleyssc.eq.edu.au or in person to any staff member.

As we brave the winter weather and plan for the future of our college, I look forward to continuing to work with you long into the future to make this great school even better.

Yours Sincerely,  

Brendan Krueger

Foundation Principal
