FROM THE COORDINATOR

Welcome to Term 2 . I remember a group of year eight students arriving on their first day be-

wildered and frightened who have now changed into confident and active students in all their

classes. It has been a pleasure to see the change in these students as the weeks have gone by.

The Staff and I thoroughly enjoyed the family night BBQ where we were able to meet and chat

with parents. It was also pleasing to see that so many parents and students were able to attend.

REPORTS

This term parents will be invited to speak to Special Education staff in regards to first term re-

ports and the development of new NEP’s (Negotiated Education Plans) for their student.

STAFFING

We welcome both Ms Tara Burton and Mr Wayne Roscarol to our teaching staff and wish them

every success.

I would like to thank Clipsal4 Me which donated Corporate Box tickets and enabled me to take

the automotive class to the Clipsal 500. An enjoyable day was had by all.
