Congratulations
What a joy! We extend our warmest congratulations to former student and staff member, Kellie Burke, and her partner Billy on the birth of their daughter, Heidi. We also send our heartfelt congratulations to our Groundsman, Ron Burke, on the birth of his granddaughter. We wish Kellie, Billy, and Heidi all the very best for a future filled with happiness and love.
Tell Them From Me Student Survey Findings
Our recent Tell Them From Me student survey results show a clear improvement over the past year in several key areas. We are pleased to report positive growth in student behaviour, as well as a greater ability for students to better regulate their thoughts, behaviours and emotions. The data also indicates that students are engaging in more high-skill and high-challenge work, which points to a deeper level of learning in the classroom.
While these results are very encouraging, we want to hear more directly from our students. Over the next few weeks, the school's Leadership team will conduct further discussions with students to gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives. These conversations will focus on three key areas:
- Interests and Motivation: What truly engages and motivates students in their learning?
- Sense of Belonging: How can we create an even stronger culture of belonging for every student?
- Goal Orientation: How can we foster a school-wide culture of setting and achieving personal and academic goals?
By actively listening to our students' voices, we aim to gain valuable insights that will help guide our next steps in school improvement.

Upcoming highlights include the Creative Arts Showcase, Stage 3 camps, a special Father's Day Celebration, NAIDOC Day celebrations, and the Sacrament of Confirmation.
