Principal Report
Our 2024 Improvement Agenda has 2 key focus areas:
- Build capability of leaders throughout the school to lead school improvement
- Reinvigoration Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) to ensure high standards of student behaviour and conduct
As a school and community, we will have multiple opportunities to review our successes from 2024 and consider what our next steps for school improvement will be in 2025. I encourage parents to consider their voice in this process to ensure that our school is meeting the needs of your children. We will be sharing a survey in Term 4 and will also provide the opportunity at an upcoming P&C meeting to discuss our improvement focus for 2025.
In addition to our improvement agenda, we will be continuing to design a new curriculum for our students that is aligned to the revised Version 9 Australian Curriculum. Information regarding the revised curriculum can be found on the Australian Curriculum Website.
Term 4 is filled with a number of events and activities that enhance our program delivery for our students. We have made attempts to capture these exciting events on a Term 4 Family Calendar. We hope this supports you and your family engaging with our school and supporting your child. More details will be provided as event dates come closer and weekly overviews will also be shared via our school Facebook page.
Attendance
The attendance of students at Charleville State High School is an area requiring significant improvement in the months ahead. Myself and our leadership team will be engaging with parents to discuss individual student attendance rates and how we can work together to improve these.
We have a number of students who are arriving late, departing early and having extended weekends. Our school is currently ranked on the lower end in the Region for our whole school attendance.
I wish all of our students and their families a safe and enjoyable school holiday period and look forward to welcoming students back on site on Monday 30th September 2024.
Kind Regards,
Mrs Elizabeth Mayo
