complete secondary school are countries like Norway, Denmark, Netherlands and<br />
Austria. This is because they provide not only secondary schooling but also vocational<br />
education and every young person is expected to do this because it will lead<br />
them into the workforce. It’s not good for society to have a group of poorly educated<br />
young people who don’t have skills and a pathway into the job market. Students<br />
must stay in school until they have a credential.<br />
If your daughter has dropped out of school or is in danger of dropping out of school,<br />
please contact me on 827 9622, or the Careers Co-ordinator Mrs Morris on 827<br />
9645, for an appointment to discuss the best way to help your daughter.<br />
Senior Examinations<br />
These start on Friday 16 September and conclude on Friday 23 September. Senior<br />
students will be on exam leave during this time. They are expected to come to<br />
school for their exams and stay at home and study when they don’t have exams.<br />
We have advised the Community Police. They do not expect to see any <strong>Kelston</strong><br />
girls in the malls or hanging out on the streets.<br />
As well as studying for their exams, students should also use the time to study for<br />
their externals in Term 4, and to complete assignments due later in Term 3.<br />
Year 13 Graduation<br />
Parents, please put Friday 2 December in your diary. Year 13 and 14 students who<br />
have reasonable attendance will graduate at a formal ceremony on that date.<br />
Come along and celebrate your daughter’s completion of 5 years of secondary<br />
schooling.<br />

Dear Parents,<br />
Recently the school held The Arts Festival. Student artwork was for sale in the<br />
school’s new Art Gallery and an evening concert gave singers, dancers and actors<br />
the opportunity to display their skills. The Board acknowledges the work of The Arts<br />
Faculty and the Student Arts Committee in organising the event.<br />
From Friday 28 October to Sunday 30 October is the school’s biennial art sale, Art<br />
West 2011. We hope to see many parents at this event over the weekend.<br />
Apologies<br />
On Tuesday 30 August and Wednesday 31 August, the telephone system at school<br />
was not working. I wish to apologise to parents for any inconvenience this may<br />
have caused. The problem was caused by a fault in the cable on Great North<br />
Road.<br />
Kind regards,<br />
Dr James Prescott<br />
