As a busy Semester 1 comes to an end I would like to congratulate all the students on their learning and involvement in school life so far this year. It was very pleasing to see the good results and positive comments on so many report cards. I encourage all students to reflect on their successes and the areas they can improve in, and come back prepared to work with their teachers to be the best they can be.

I am pleased with the good work that our staff have put in across the school. Thanks to all staff for their efforts. We are committed to providing the best opportunities for our students. Strong leadership, quality teaching and learning, fair and consistent practices and timely communication are what we are consistently striving to achieve.

I also would like to thank the P&F Committee for their support and contributions this semester. Their work and advice adds significantly to the success of the school.

Similarly, I am very grateful for the advice and direction that the School Board provides to me. We have a number of exciting changes planned for the school over the next six months. The Board plays an important role in helping to shape that change.

Finally, congratulations to Father Brian who celebrated the 50 year anniversary of his ordination this week. Father shared that experience with a visit to our students during the week.
