Here we are already in Week 7 of the term.  It has been a wonderful six weeks with Sharon Collins, as our Acting Principal, and we are also excited to welcome Pete back this week.  Our classes are nearly complete their current summative assessment and many have already commenced their new units of work.  Our teachers now have the mammoth task of marking all assessment and preparing our end of semester reports.  Semester 1 Report Cards will be release in the last week of this term via Sentral for Parents and in hard copy. 

 Listening Forum Form for Parents – Strategic Planning  

Reminder that the opportunity for feedback into our 2024-2027 Strategic Plan is open until this Sunday 4 June at 5:00pm.  As mentioned in the email sent home to all families on 24/05, we value your input and feedback in this important process which sets our path for the future direction of our College.  

An important part of developing our next Strategic Plan 2024-2027, is consultation with all our stakeholders. Over the past 6 weeks, Sharon Collins, Acting Principal, has been working with staff and students regarding the future vision of our College, our aspirations, our strengths, and areas for improvement and growth. As part of this collaborative process, we would like to give all parents of the College an opportunity to contribute their thoughts in the development of this plan. As we value your time, we would ask you to complete the form linked below and answer four simple questions with your thoughts. These responses will then be collated and used with staff and student voices when considering the future priorities of our College. This 'voice of our community' is a valuable component to developing our Strategic Plan alongside educational trends, and the needs of our Learners and our College. This is to ensure we develop the most relevant and responsive plan to carry us through the next four years.  Strategic Planning Parent Listening Forum Form
