When I joined the school in September 2010 I stated that my intention was for our school to be amongst the top 10 percent by 2012. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the team of staff and the determined efforts of students, this year’s results have provided an incredible boost towards achieving our goal. Congratulations to all the staff and students for their amazing work and a huge thank you to our Year 11 parents for their support. Strategies are already in place to improve our results further next year. Nadine Powrie Headteacher
