Dear Parent/Carers

Welcome to a new school year and what I hope will be another rewarding and exciting year for us all.  Despite the delayed and disrupted start to the school year,  I am looking forward to welcoming over 580 new and existing students to our college  next week.  For new families who are starting with us this year, welcome, and to our many existing families, welcome back!  Your partnership with us in your child's education makes a massive difference and I value your support and assistance as we navigate the next few weeks of change and uncertainty.

Unfortunately, due to the latest health guidelines, we are unable to host our traditional Welcome Parade and newcomers Meet & Greet.  However, we have not abandoned plans for these events and plans are already underway to host these events later this term when restrictions ease.   I look forward to welcoming parents, carers and community members back at school as soon as possible so that we can celebrate these significant events together.  

I also want to thank our college community for your patience and support in the lead up to the start of school.   There have been a range of challenges for us all this year, from delays with uniform supplies, building construction, wet weather to staff absences and supply delays.  Despite these challenges we are all looking forward to the start of the school year and getting back to business.   

Our college is more than just a place where your child attends each day.  We want to partner with you in educating your child and for life beyond the classroom.  Learning at school involves more than just memorising content and information.  We look to prepare your child for life after school, and give them the skills not only for further education or employment, but also for being productive members of society.  Our college values of 'Respect, Responsibility and Perseverance' are regularly taught so that our students leave school with the skills and attitudes they need for life. 

Once again, thank you for your support and involvement in our school and I look forward to working with you to fulfil our college motto to Achieve Excellence Together.

 Yours Sincerely,
