Deputy Principal Teaching and Learning

As we come to the end of another successful year, I would like to share some key updates and initiatives that have shaped our teaching and learning journey in 2025.

Continuous Reporting

This year, we introduced continuous reporting to provide parents with timely and meaningful feedback on student learning. Feedback for each task, including strengths and recommendations, is now available through VO, ensuring that parents can engage with their child’s progress throughout the semester rather than waiting for end-of-semester reports. Final semester reports are now accessible via the Parent Lounge. 

Technology Initiatives

Our technology program expanded significantly with the introduction of VEX Robotics as a co-curricular offering and drones. Year 9 and 10 Computing Technology classes introduced drone technology this year. This provides students with hands-on opportunities to develop problem-solving and coding skills. These initiatives prepare students for future-focused learning and careers in STEM.

Three-Year Professional Learning Focus

Looking ahead, we are excited to announce a three-year professional learning focus on Critical Thinking as part of our commitment to being a Teaching for Thinking school. This initiative will be led by Dr Peter Ellerton from the University of Queensland, a leading expert in the field. Our goal is to embed critical thinking across all learning areas, equipping students with the skills to think deeply, reason effectively, and engage thoughtfully with complex ideas.

Speech Night

A glorious celebration of our academic achievers!

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child’s education. We look forward to continuing this journey together in 2026.
