Message from Mr Abernethy
Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome to Term 3!
I extend a huge thank you for your support in getting students back to class and engaged in learning as normal as is possible in this challenging COVID world. I look forward to a day when the virus is not the focus of our communication.
I am pleased to report that the vast majority of students (over 800) returned on the first day of term and numbers have steadily increased each day this week to the point where almost all students have returned.
We have a robust COVID safe plan and are taking numerous measures to ensure the safety of all in our school community. A new innovation that we will be trialing is Parent Teacher interviews via Zoom in Week 4. This will allow parents and carers to meet teachers using video conferencing in the comfort of your own home. We have had strong support with many parents already booking interviews in.
We will be seeking your feedback as part of an evaluation at the end of the interview process.
Building Progress
Our Performance Centre is progressing very well and on track for occupation for the beginning of next term. Currently tradesmen are painting and over the next couple of weeks whiteboards, pinboards and acoustic paneling will be installed.
The College Hall is also progressing well with the Southern and Eastern retaining walls complete, soil will be back filled into the voids soon.
The image below shows the progress on the Hall.
Please keep an eye out this weekend on our Facebook page. We have something very exciting to show you all.
May God continue to bless you
Simon Abernethy
College Principal
