JOTTINGS FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS<br />
To all students and their families we<br />
welcome you to the 2010 school<br />
year. Despite being a short term<br />
much has already occurred and<br />
much has been achieved. Students<br />
have quickly familiarised themselves<br />
with the changes in school structure.<br />
The college now operates on a<br />

Parent Evenings<br />
Several parent evenings have taken<br />
place in Term One. The VCE Parent<br />
Information Evening was held on the<br />
23rd February. This session helped<br />
parents to better understand the<br />
VCE and gave suggestions on how<br />
best to support their child. The Year<br />
10 Information Evening on March<br />
3rd introduced parents to the senior<br />
years of secondary education and<br />
outlined the increasing demands<br />
and expectations placed on Year 10<br />
students. Feedback from parents<br />
model of two sub-schools with a<br />
team of teachers operating at each<br />
sub-school. The number of Year Level<br />
Coordinators has increased and<br />
we have added Program Managers<br />
at each sub-school. Ms Gardiner is<br />
overseeing the Junior school and Ms<br />
Raniti will be responsible for<br />

on both evenings indicated that<br />
the sessions were informative and<br />
worthwhile.<br />
A more relaxed and informal evening<br />
was organised by the Parents and<br />
Friends Association on the 4th March<br />
for our Year 7 parents and students.<br />
The BBQ was held in the new Year<br />
7 precinct and was extremely well<br />
attended. The evening gave new<br />
parents the opportunity to meet<br />
teachers and other families. A much<br />
appreciated effort from the PFA<br />

familiarise themselves with the<br />

in welcoming new families to our<br />
school community.<br />
Finally, but most importantly, I hope<br />
that all parents were able to attend<br />
the Parent–Teacher interviews on<br />
March 23rd. With an increasing<br />
student population and in order to<br />
reduce waiting time, we trialled an<br />
appointment system. Your feedback<br />
on how successful this was would be<br />
much appreciated.<br />
