Dear Community,

We are now into our 3rd week back with face-to-face teaching and we are very pleased with how the students are settling back into the normal routine. Assemblies have been held across the school via Microsoft Teams and it is nice to still be able to address the student group as a whole. 

Thank you for your support with the new hygiene processes. You are welcome to enter school grounds for student pickup of an afternoon, however, please follow social distancing guidelines. We have new hand sanitiser stations around the school. One is at the front door to the office and the other is on the wall of the hall. Please utilise these when entering school grounds. 

I am pleased to announce that Mr Rod Lang has been appointed as our new Wood/Metal Industrial Technology teacher. Mr Lang is moving here from Albury and he comes with many years of experience and a great range of qualifications across multiple teaching areas. I look forward to introducing him to our community. I am still waiting to confirm his start date. Currently, Mr Hogan, Miss Jamieson and I have been covering Wood/Metal classes as an interim measure. We welcomed back Nicole Miller today and we look forward to doing the same with Georgia Hughes in Week 7. 

Uniform- We kindly ask for your support with ensuring that students are in the correct uniform on the correct day and wearing all the right pieces of uniform. I believe that a uniform is an important aspect for a school, as it builds a sense of belonging and pride. This pride can then carry over into school work. Lieutenant General David Morrison once said, "The standard you walk past, is the standard you accept". This is something that I often think about and hope to instil in students. 

Please see our building works and maintence section for an update on renovations. I would like to thank the School Community Council for their generous donation of $10,000 towards the cost of purchasing new classroom furniture for our renovated classrooms. This will greatly assist us with the total cost of the furniture costing $30,000 plus. 

Take care,

Grant Haigh
