From the Principal

Welcome back to Term 4 everyone. Looking forward, the flowers have already started blooming, the weather will be warming up, and school life will keep us busy.  It is a bit of a metaphor. The new build is open and the classrooms are being used, the courtyard has been reassembled with only some cosmetic changes to come and the new stairs to the bus bay are open. It is like the darkness of winter is being brushed aside. I hope that you enjoy the new facilities.

Term 4 is traditionally a time for feedback and reflection. That of course will continue with all aspects of the programs that we are delivering at Bunbury SHS. As I mentioned in previous editions, the future is upon us and we need to work across a number of fronts, technology, enterprise skill development and positive, flexible delivery environment to ensure that schooling stays relevant and useful to our students. On the curriculum front, we will be supplying time over the next 6 months for staff to interrogate the WA curriculum resources.

I am really looking forward to our staff-directed Teaching and Learning committee and Literacy and Numeracy committee roaring into action this term. Along with the Building and Grounds committee, these provide a great opportunity for staff input.  Together with the work being done on creating a sense of belonging through the development of a positive learning environment and senior school culture our agenda is really clearly defined.

I hope that you have a great term and have a chance to look back at our accomplishments so far as a break from our continuous forward focus.

En Avant
