We have had a big two weeks with lots of adults on our site interacting with students in positive ways. Our year 9’s experienced a “Speed Careers” morning with members of our community visiting and sharing key information about the world of work. A huge thank you to all the business people involved. The sessions were extremely positive with high levels of interest demonstrated by our students from across the grade.

Last Friday saw the whole school involved in our
House Challenge Day. This initiative allows students to learn outside the classroom and experience success in many different ways across the day. We incorporate our cross country events into the day and I was pleased with the number of students participating in these events. We are keen to hear from students what worked well on the day and suggestions about how we can improve on this event next year.

Our Lifting Literacy initiative has been implemented across all grades with a dedicated focus on improving the reading skills of all students across the school. Our teachers are participating in regular professional learning sessions aimed at embedding great reading practices in all classes, all the time. This work is happening in all schools across the state and I am pleased to advise that, as a state, our improvement in student reading skills are ramping up. I look forward to our ongoing improvement as a school, building on the impressive student growth data that we have already been seeing over the last three years.
