Thank you to the Charleville State High School Staff, Community and Students for your warm welcome back to the CSHS community.

It has been such a privilege to be leading the school for the conclusion of Term 1, and once again having the opportunity to work with the CSHS staff and students.

During the past four weeks, I have been working with staff to ensure a strong conclusion to Term 1. This has included;

  • Enactment of Classroom Profiling across the school
  • Drafting of the CSHS 2024 Improvement Agenda
  • Ongoing development and refinement of the CSHS Strategic Plan 2024-2027
  • Planning for next steps of C Block upgrade
  • Visiting students in classrooms to see their work and ensuring they are meeting their potential in both learning and behaviour
  • Engaging with the P & C
  • Reengaged our School Chaplain – Les Penrose

Student Voice Group

I, in partnership with Ethan – CWAATSICH, have facilitated our first round of Student Voice Sessions with our students in Week 8.

Purpose of Student Voice:

provide feedback regarding our school from a student perspective

highlight issues and concerns that are impacting students

discuss possible solutions that would improve our school

positively influence change

 

We had over 20 students participate in the Term 1 sessions from all year levels.  Student provided feedback and suggestions that will be taken to an upcoming leadership team meeting and, where possible, solutions and responses will be enacted.

Dates for Term 2 Student Voice sessions will be set in coming days in preparation for Term 2.  There will be two sessions facilitated per term. 

Thankyou to all students who attended and provided valuable feedback. 

Attendance Update

Our current whole school attendance is currently 75%.  This is significantly below the state-wide and regional target for attendance.  Attendance at this rate, significantly impacts our student's ability to achieve success in both learning and in their social interactions. 

In conjunction with this current, low attendance rate, we also have a number of students who have unexplained absences from Term 1. I encourage all parents to review this on upcoming report cards and rectify by contacting the school office at your earliest convenience. 

QParents

In efforts to continually enhance and refine our communication with families, we have initiated a staged roll out of QParents. Phase 1 will see the release of QParents to those in Years 11 & 12.  Your feedback regarding the usability and functionality of this platform would be greatly appreciated.  Your feedback will influence the next steps in our roll out plan.

Thankyou for engaging with our newsletter.

Kind Regards,

​Mrs Biz Mayo
