By now the term is well underway. EVET has started and students in Year 11 are getting used to a new process. Leaving school early to attend TAFE once a week. The first week is always challenging, navigating a new education facility and understanding what is required. I hope they enjoy their courses.

Soon I will be confirming work experience dates and instructions. Student will receive this information and will be able to begin looking for a work experience. I always advise students to begin as soon as possible with their search for a place, it can be challenging at times to lock in a placement.

Year 12 are welcome to make a time to meet with me to discuss their post school plans. Bookings are an option but drop ins are welcome.

Prefects had their first major fundraising event at the swimming carnival on February 20. Our theme for the day was 2016 and we looked forward to seeing the school’s interpretation. The day was muggy and warm, but we eagerly set up our shade cover and snacks and drinks. The customers came thick and fast as we sold treats such as chips, zooper doopers, lolly cups and drinks. It was fun and busy, it proved to be a great success with a solid financial outcome. We even had appearances from Justin Biebers. We look forward to our next fundraiser, the Athletics carnival.
