Principal Report
As we conclude Semester 1, I'm filled with pride as I reflect on the remarkable progress we've made together. This term has been defined by renewed focus on learning, growing momentum in Version 9 Curriculum Implementation, and a shared commitment to enhancing attendance. I'm excited to share and celebrate some of the successes we've achieved as a school community.
Rising Attendance, Rising Potential
One of the most encouraging developments this semester has been our increase in student attendance. More students are arriving on time, every day, ready to learn. This it's a reflection of how much our students value being here, supported by families who understand that consistent attendance lays the foundation for academic success and lifelong habits. Thank you for helping us build that culture of showing up, striving, and staying connected.
A Stronger Culture of Learning
We are also seeing a shift in the way students are engaging with their learning. Classrooms are increasingly calm, supportive and engaging. Whether it's through focused class discussions, students taking ownership of their learning, or enhanced engagement with homework club and assessment, our school culture is growing stronger every day. Staff have worked intentionally to create environments that are both welcoming and challenging—and our students are rising to meet those expectations. I acknowledge that we still have further improvements to make, it is exciting to see our successes so far.
School & Parent Partnerships
This term has seen the election of a new P&C Executive Committee. Our committee and broader membership are working together to enhance our school and the opportunities that we are able to create through our positive and proactive partnership.
President – Tegan Russell
Vice President – Jackie Latchman
Treasurer – Shane Horrocks
Secretary – Tamara Heinemann
As a P&C we will be engaging in a comprehensive review of our tuckshop and also look at opportunities to continue fundraising to support camps, excursions and enhanced facilities for our students.
Looking Ahead
This semester's success is not the finish line—it's our launching pad. In Semester 2, we will continue to build on these gains, with new opportunities for learning, refreshed classroom furniture in selected classrooms, the opening of Phase 2 of C Block and and ongoing recognition for those students who are committed to learning and improvement.
As always, we are committed to working in partnership with you—our families—to support every student in achieving their personal best.
Thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and belief in the power of education. Together, we're shaping a school culture where every student belongs, every day counts, and learning is at the heart of everything we do.
Wishing you all a restful and safe break.
Kind Regards,
Mrs Elizabeth Mayo
