Despite the gloomy weather we have had much to celebrate in the last month. Several students havebeen recognised both formally and informally for outstanding achievement. The colours assembly was aformal way to recognise outstanding achievement in many fields including academic study, sport andcommunity service.
We provide students with many opportunities to shine. Our Science and Engineering team won theNorth West challenge and came fifth at the state event which was an impressive effort given that half of the winning team did not compete as they were on the ski trip. We also had a number of studentsparticipate in the Maths Relay and learn much about how and what we need to do when we compete.
The feedback from the teachers on the ski trip and other people involved in supporting our students onthat excursion was outstanding. It is great to see and hear about the students having an opportunity tohave fun without all the electronic devices and trappings of life in the 21st century. All too oftenchildren, and I use the word children deliberately as they are under 18 and not adults, want to be adults,to dress like adults, behave like adults and are forced to be adult. They miss out on some of the simple
pleasures in life.
Our prefects continue to shine in their work around raising awareness of mental health issues, resilienceand bullying. Recently they were recognised at a national conference and last week they presented at theTasmanian Principals’ Association Conference on the theme of the next generation and how important itis for students to be empowered. They have done a lot of work on bullying around the school yard andthe information they have collected is being used in our review of our supportive school communitypolicy.
Last night we held a social and launched the 40 hour famine and it was great to hear from students andteachers about how much they enjoyed the evening the and the feedback I received from parents and
the DJ about the behaviour of students at the event was fantastic.
Now I could go on and on about bad behaviour but everyone knows who is doing the right thing and
who is doing the wrong thing. We can all be dragged down by a poor attitude, a lack of commitment and
lack of understanding about what is right and what is wrong but when these comments only relate to a
handful of students we need to take the time to celebrate the effort of all the good students in our
community.
