Principal Report
We wish Biz Mayo well as she begins her leave from Charleville SHS. Her leadership of the school has been exceptional; it is both an exciting opportunity and important responsibility to step into the role of Acting Principal and continue this work.
Community Connections – CWATSSICH Young Men's Program
On Friday, 27th March, six Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students attended an overnight camp as the culminating activity of the Young Men's program. It was hosted at Mangalore and the students spent their time connecting with country, enjoying fishing and yarning.
The program has been a huge success in maximising students' belonging and engagement with both our school and their culture. Thank you Robbo and Troy for your ongoing engagement with our school.
Shearing Camp Term 1 2026 – Dirranbandi
Many of the students who attended this camp are also attending the first shearing camp at Dirranbandi, which is a central part of the Certificate II in Rural Operations. By all accounts attendees are sleeping soundly, even requesting an afternoon nap during day one.
We are delighted to partner with other schools including Cunnamulla SS, St George SHS and Dirranbandi SS to deliver this course through TAFE Queensland, and appreciate Duncan and Geri, the owners of Dunwold Station for hosting us.
NAPLAN review
We are delighted to share that every Year 7 student completed NAPLAN testing across four domains: Writing, Reading, Language Conventions and Numeracy. Eight students accessed reasonable adjustments like extra time, rest breaks, separate seating. In Year 9, 23 students completed all four tests, with six students accessing reasonable adjustments.
Sincere thanks to every parent and every student who attended and did their best.
The results will be made available at the end of term two; these will be shared with families as soon as they arrive.
Readers Cup at Charleville SHS
In preparation for the statewide event, we hosted a site-specific Readers Cup for Year 7 and 8 students. 18 students took part, including Arlie and Sienna as recorders, with Miss Stickler acting as MC and host. Our School Supervisor, Ash Roediger attended the event and thoroughly enjoyed the levels of competition as students, including one student who joined via teams from a sports event offsite!
Congratulations to Mille, Sam, Ella-May and Addie who tool out the competition, and kudos to every student who participated.
Kind regards,
Mr Jarlath Scannell
