From the Principal

Term 2 can often feel stressful for us and the students. With Semester 1 exams and reporting right around the corner increasing pressure to meet deadlines can build. I urge you to take some time to layout the term ahead, the milestones that you need to hit along the way and give yourself plenty of opportunities to get these tasks done. It would be prudent to do this same task with your students.

With the lifting of union directives this week, I’m sure you will be eager to get back to collaborative planning and working with your colleagues. I imagine that learning area meetings will start this week. It is a good time to work with your learning area leaders to do the same for your team schedule.

This is also the time to build the foundation of high achievement that Bunbury SHS is known for. I was reminded by a staff member just recently of the 5 “P”s: Prior preparation prevents poor performance. While it is a colloquial phrase its words ring true. Use your colleagues, use your leaders and ask the students what they need to support them achieving their full potential. 

We believe that all students can progress and succeed and some students, sometimes, need more than others. Sometimes this is not always the students that you may think of naturally. Be on the look out to help all students succeed.
