Dear Students, Parents and Carers,

As we approach the end of Term 3, I would like to thank our students and families for the commitment, effort and care you have shown throughout the term. Your support for our learning routines and expectations makes a difference to our students each and every day, and it has been a term with a great deal to celebrate.

Prepared, Polite and Productive

During my classroom visits in recent weeks, it was wonderful to see our 3Ps in action: Be Prepared, Be Polite and Be Productive, supported by our consistent Entry, Engagement and Exit routines. Congratulations to our students for the way they have embraced these routines, and thank you to our families for reinforcing them at home. Consistency between home and school is where the real difference is made.

Regional Director Visit and the 4Cs

This term we were pleased to welcome Regional Director Ian Burrage to our College. Ian met with staff and students, toured our learning and pathways spaces and experienced the energy of our 4Cs in a special assembly. There was a real sense of pride in the way our students represented our College and our values throughout the day.

The 4Cs journey culminated this week with our students taking to the stage at Bunjil Place. The diversity of our school community is something we are all proud of, and it was fantastic to see it showcased for the wider community. Congratulations to every student who performed, and thank you to the staff and families who supported them along the way.

Student-Parent-Teacher Interviews

Thank you to the many families who attended our Student-Parent-Teacher Interviews on Tuesday 4th September. These conversations are essential to our partnership in supporting your child's learning. They are an opportunity to discuss progress, address concerns early, set expectations and celebrate achievements. Together, we continue to make a difference for every student.

The Addams Family Musical

A huge congratulations to everyone involved in The Addams Family Musical. From the moment the curtain rose, our students shone on stage, in the orchestra pit and behind the scenes, bringing incredible energy, confidence, humour and talent to every performance. It was wonderful to see so many students discover or deepen their strengths, take on new challenges and contribute to something truly special. A special thank you to our Production and Performing Arts Team, led by Ms Gulen and Ms Bolger, and to every staff member and family who supported them. This is Success for Every Student in action.

Year 11 Formal

Our Year 11 students recently came together to celebrate their formal, marking their hard work and achievements so far in senior school. It was a joy to see them dressed up, laughing with their friends and creating memories together. Thank you to the staff who helped make the evening such a memorable occasion.

Thank You and Enjoy the Break

There is much to be proud of this year, and the positive changes we are seeing across our College are a credit to our students, staff and families. Over the Spring break, I hope you have time to enjoy the people and things that matter most to you. We look forward to welcoming our students back for Term 4 on Monday 5th October.

Stay safe,

Jo Cucchiara
