STUDENT PERSPECTIVE
4. Cyber smart practices: Keep some tabs on your child ’ s social media time and activities, particularly around who they are engaging with online, and how they engage with others online. 5. School Policies on Lunchtime and After School Detention: Lunchtime and Afterschool Detentions on the Secondary Campus enable students to catch - up or complete required school - work under the supervision of teachers who can offer learning support. These are used a last resort for the collection of incomplete school - work, enabling teachers to accurately track student learning and progression. Without these opportunities to catch up on missed or incomplete school - work, students and families cannot be guaranteed an automatic or seamless progression to the next year level. We need families to work in partnership with the College and make the necessary arrangements for your child to attend these sessions when required. If this is not possible you need to contact the school and make alternative arrangements. You cannot just tell your child not to attend. This is NOT an option. As a community, we need to keep raising the bar on learning. Our students have already proven that they will step up to the challenge when they feel encouraged and supported by all of us.
SCHOOL PRIDE
Our narrative on providing the best possible learning environment through school improvement continues. New carpet has gone in across the Prep/1 and Years 9/10 spaces. Painting and room touch ups continue on the secondary campus and will continue throughout the year. Upgrading of the Primary campus Prep/1 toilets looks like it will start during the Term 3 holidays with upgrades happening in 2024 in the Years 3 - 6 and Secondary campus toilets. Landscaping at the front of the Primary and Secondary campuses will start over the next fortnight. This will give both campuses a new dimension and look for our community. A boom gate for the Primary campus carpark will also be installed this year. New student lockers have given the Secondary campus learning areas a fresh modern look and partitions for individual subject/classes have been completed. Unfortunately, a small number of students have vandalised and graffitied our improvements which is totally unacceptable. As a result, we have no option but to ask School Council to endorse the installation of CCTV cameras on both campuses for added security and school safety. There will be no tolerance with any students who choose to ignore our values and cause damage. We all know the importance of a well maintained and clean school environment, and the importance in taking pride in your school.
I am looking forward to many student achievements and highlights over the remainder of term 3 and our School Council is always open to new ideas and learning experiences for our children.
I am humbled by your tremendous support and trust. Have a lovely weekend.
