Dear Parents/Carers, 

Welcome back to Term 3 and the joys of winter with shorter days and cooler nights.  Around this time every year, I like to take a moment to reflect on our Colleges' progress and achievements so far.  In fact, at the start of each term, all of our teaching staff and leadership team take time to reflect on our progress, analyse our key data results and plan and take action to ensure that our priorities and goals are on track.  

This week, we looked at our Semester 1 reporting data, student attendance data and students effort and behaviour data.  Overwhelmingly, it was pleasing to see the great progress many individuals and cohort groups had made in these vital areas.  Equally pleasing, was the visible pride staff have shown through their efforts and actions to see students improve.  I know that not all students will achieve academic success, but character traits like effort, behaviour and regular attendance are proven keys to better outcomes and opportunities for students later in life.  I thank all parents/carers for their partnership with us to ensure that their child does the best they can while at school. I encourage you to speak with any classroom teachers or support staff if you have concerns.

This term we are undertaking significant planning and preparation for our first cohort of Year 12's in 2024 and also our first five years of schooling.  Plans are under-way to celebrate these significant milestones and further information will be shared over the coming weeks and months. 

The Stage 3 building works for the building in of further classrooms under J block and the Performing Arts Centre (PAC) are well under way and I look forward to J block being completed for the start of 2024 and the PAC for mid next year. 

As always I encourage parents to contact the College if you have any questions or concerns and I look forward to meeting many of you at the upcoming Parent Teacher interview night.  

Yours Sincerely,

Brendan Krueger

Foundation Principal
