Term 3
I trust you all had a safe and restful break with your families. I encourage you to reflect with your child on their GPA and student led conferences at the end of Term 2 and start to set some goals for Term 3. Goal setting can be daunting but it teaches adolescents to be organised and can increase motivation and sense of achievement. When you are a part of this goal setting it ensures accountability and often inspiration. It also gives us as parents and teachers the opportunity to partner with our child and support their interests and passions.
 
Year 9 Transition to Year 10
Year 9 students will commence their transition to Wodonga Senior Secondary College this term.  This is an exciting time for our Year 9 students. If your child has not already received information about transition to Year 10 please go onto the WSSC website to ensure you are up to date.
 
2022 Parent Opinion Survey
Tell us what you think.
Our school is conducting a survey to find out what parents think of our school. The parent Opinion survey is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education and Training that is conducted amongst a sample of randomly selected parents.  It is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of parents’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour and student engagement.  Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.
Approximately 30 percent of parents will be invited to participate in this year’s survey.  All responses to the survey are anonymous.  We are yet to be advised of the dates for the parent opinion survey this year and will keep you informed.
The survey will be conducted online, only takes 10-15 minutes to complete and can be accessed at any time within the time period on desktop computers, laptop, tablets or smartphones. 
Results of the survey will be reported back to the school at the end of September.

Year 7 Boys Soccer
A fantastic day for the Year 7 Boys Soccer Team at Kelly Park on Wednesday 22nd June, as they came together to win through to the next stage. The first game was decided by a goal in the final minute. The team’s confidence grew with each game and every student played their best, ultimately going undefeated throughout the day.
The leadership shown by a number of students was great to see, including Max Barker who led from the front scoring the most goals for the day and Michael Forrest who took the responsibility as keeper for the majority of the day. Regardless of prior experience, everyone on the team contributed and played an important role. We’re eager to see how they go in the next stage later this year.
