Deputy Principal - Junior Secondary
Welcome to Term 2, 2020. During Monday's parade this week I reminded students about the importance of Perserverance. Perserverance is one of our school's three values that is particulary relevant at the moment. It is great to see students successfully adapting to the changing learning environment to continue to focus on achieving their learning goals.
Teaching students the value of perserverance highlights to students that life is not always smooth sailing and plans needs to be constantly re-evaluated and revised to stay on track to achieve objectives and goals.
Introducing our House Coordinators
Following an internal review of our staffing last term, we have also appointed two staff to new positions within the school. Both Ms Jessica Starkey and Mr James Dunn have been appointed as House Coordinators and will support students and their families in their transition/settling into secondary schooling. Both Jessica (Blaine and Flinders) and James (Goolman and Perry) have already been working extensively with our students and this new role will allow them to support the wellbeing and welfare of students in a more formal capacity. Jessica and James will focus on building House spirt and positive behaviour in their respective Houses. They will be working with students to develop student leadership and support students with peer issues. Congratulations James and Jessica on this recent appointment.
At this stage we plan to run a Student Investiture Ceremony, where student leaders will receive their leadership badges, on Monday the 1st June 2020. This will also be a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the opening of our Sports Centre. We will provide further details closer to this time.
The first round of immunisations scheduled for this week has been cancelled. This round of immunisations will be rescheduled to later this year. We will let you know the date of the next round of immunisations as soon as we can.
