Assistant Principal – Karen Shawcross
As Term 2 wraps up, it’s been truly inspiring to witness the dedication and eagerness our students have shown in their classes and assessments. The positive feedback reflected in their reports, and the constructive conversations held during the Parent/Teacher/Student interviews, clearly highlight their commitment to learning.
For any students and parents who may have concerns about reports or achievements, remember that every day is an opportunity to improve. A genuine desire to learn means students will ask questions and use feedback wisely. Don’t forget, Open Learning sessions on Tuesday afternoons (3pm – 4pm) are a fantastic resource. This dedicated time is perfect for homework, finishing classwork, starting assessments, or gaining a deeper understanding of feedback in a focused, small group setting.
Our upcoming College assembly will be a wonderful occasion where we will proudly presented Silver Awards to students who achieved 30 merits. This semester, we’ve seen an incredible 8000+ merits awarded across the college – a truly phenomenal achievement! It speaks volumes about the consistent effort and positive contributions of our students. I am excited to see this number grow even further in Semester 2, with Gold Awards for 45 merits being presented from the beginning of the term. Bronze and Silver Awards will continue to be presented during Year assemblies throughout the remainder of the year.
Term 3 for all students commences on Tuesday, 22 July, which is a Week 1 Day 2. Please ensure all students return in their complete winter uniform. A friendly reminder that blazers are to be worn to and from school; false eyelashes, false nails, and SNS nails are not permitted. Students who may have these over the holidays will have Monday, 21 July, to remove them before returning to school. Our uniform is a source of pride and fosters a strong sense of identity and belonging within our college community.
I wish everyone a safe, restful, and well-deserved break.
Karen Shawcross, Assistant Principal
