From the Principal's Desk

Here we are again - the beginning of another year! Welcome to 2010. I am really looking forward to this year and the exciting innovations we are introducing. Most of these are based around the central theme of the Revised Curriculum which places the student at the centre of learning.

A new timetable, school vision and the introduction of KnowledgeNet is our way of moving toward student centred learning. We will also be looking closely at how we teacher (Pedagogy) and our Student Support programmes.

A new programme which you will be interested in is the formation of Tutor Groups where a staff member will take responsibility for 15 students and oversee theri learning programmes.

 At 7.00pm on Wednesday 17th February we will be holding a 'Welcome to 2010' evening which will explain how we are going to operate this year and also give you an opportunity to mix-and-mingle and meet your child's teachers. This evening is for all parents not just those of Year 7 students. I highly recommend that you attend.   (click to find information about this evening)

You will also have an opportunity to see the upgraded Art Room, the new computer lab in D Block and other areas of the school which may interest you.

I look forward to seeing you there.
Regards,
Haydn Hutching
