Principal's Report
Dear Parents/Carers,
As we count down to the end of the 2023 school year, I have been reminded over the past several weeks of how great our college staff and students are. Last week our college had the privilege of attending the awards ceremony for the Premiers Coding challenge where for the 3rd year in a row our school won the majority of high school awards for this prestigious competition. This followed on for the college's success the week prior where two of our students won the State and then National FUSE cup final for eSports!
This morning on parade over 480 students were presented with their Silver Raptor certificates for consistently demonstrating the college values of respect, responsibility and perseverance in 2023. This is on top of the more than 60 students who received a Gold Raptor Award on our awards evening. These prestigious awards are given to those students who demonstrate to a high level our colleges values across multiple categories including attendance, effort, academic grades and participation in community events.
Late last week I was also informed that one of our students won the National weightlifting championship for their division after another highly successful year at both regional and state competitions.
These are just some of the many good news stories that have come from our college in the past few weeks.
Of course, results like this don't happen by accident or good luck. Behind each and every one of these success stories is the hard work, dedication and perseverance of staff, students, families and coaches to make sure that people can achieve to the best of their ability. Indeed, we each face our own individual and collective challenges throughout life but it is by working together that we can achieve great things.
As you wind down from what has been another big year, I hope you can also see the positive progress you have made both personally and collectively in the development of our college and students. We have all played a part and I want to thank you for once again partnering with our college as we seek to fulfil our college motto of "Achieving Excellence Together".
Have a restful and relaxing holiday and I look forward to working with you again in 2024.
Yours Sincerely,
Brendan Krueger
Foundation Principal
