FROM THE PRINCIPAL, Stephen Bullied
One thing we can be sure of with teenagers – there will always be problems. However, if we take to heart the old saying “It takes a whole village to raise a child”, we clearly understand that we all have a part to play in ensuring that all children have the best opportunities they can in life.
Enjoy having your children at home and have a safe and happy holiday.

We need to talk about our NAPLAN results........................
We are pleased to advise that ACARA has identified our school as having demonstrated substantially above average gain in reading and numeracy achievement, as measured by NAPLAN.
Year 7 and 9 Parents
NAPLAN testing is scheduled for Week 3 and 4 of Term 2. This year like the majority of schools in the state we will be completing NAPLAN Online. Parents are reminded it is expected that all Year 7 and 9 students will sit NAPLAN unless an Exemption or Withdrawal has been completed.
