I addressed all students in week one, outlining the Core Values and the Expected Behaviours for all students both in classrooms and during out of class activities whether at school or at another location. All students have been accepting of this, and the year has begun exceptionally well and with the wonderful community spirit that is evident each day at our school. I would like to congratulate students on their appearance and their willingness to take on the changes we are making with our uniforms to improving the overall image of the school. A big thank you to our parents also. Should you require assistance in purchasing uniforms, paying fees or providing students with books and other requirements, please contact the school as we do have funding to support students and allowing them to engage fully in their learning. To further support all families, the school will not be asking for a General School contribution in 2020 and the costs associated with hiring buses to access venues for sporting activities will be met by the school, with no charge to families. All our students have settled well and it is a pleasure each day to see happy, smiling faces, enthusiastic chatter and feel the friendly vibe that radiates around the school. I would like to warmly welcome new staff who have been permanently appointed to the school: Mrs Paine – Head Teacher English The Swimming Carnivals were held last week. The level of participation in events was very high and all students are to be commended on their participation, behaviour and the house spirit that was displayed on the two days. I was most impressed with the outfits of both staff and students who went all out to promote their House and its associated colour. Congratulations to Watson House, victors for the third year in a row, well done to all! The Indigenous Meet and Greet for students and parents was held today and it was a pleasure to meet and welcome parents and family to the school. They were able to meet team members and I look forward to seeing them at other events throughout the year. The Meet the Parents afternoon, for students in Year 7, is next Tuesday 18 February. It is a great opportunity for our new parents to meet the teachers of their students and to also get an insight into how students are finding their new environment and meeting the challenges of secondary school. I look forward to working with you during the year and am looking forward to a very successful 2020 for our school.
