Dear Home Tutors, Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Welcome back to Term 3! I hope you all had a restful and rejuvenating break.
As we embark on this new term, I am filled with excitement for the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead.
Term 3 promises to be an enriching period filled with learning, growth, and community spirit. Our dedicated teachers have been preparing diligently to provide engaging and challenging lessons that will inspire our students to reach their full potential. We are committed to fostering an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and motivated to succeed.
This term, we have a range of exciting activities and events planned, including the Whitsunday Voices Festival, Year 10 SET planning, and the Year 5/6 and Year 7-9 Camps. We are also delighted to welcome students and staff from Oshu City for a homestay program and look forward to some of our students participating in the ICPA Sports Camp. Additionally, we will celebrate Teacher Aide Appreciation Week, host various Japanese Festivals, and engage in VET Placements. Don’t forget, we will also be observing RUOK Day to promote mental health awareness.
As always, communication between home and school is vital. Please stay informed through our newsletters, website, and social media channels. We encourage you to actively participate in your child’s education and school activities. Your involvement makes a significant difference in creating a vibrant and supportive school community.
I would like to extend a warm welcome to new students, families and staff joining us this term. We are thrilled to have you as part of our school community and look forward to getting to know you.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. Let’s make Term 3 a memorable and successful time for all.
Kind regards,
Amanda Rynne - Principal

Sports Person of the year award 2024
CSDE annually acknowledges the sporting achievements of a Primary and Secondary Student, who has excelled throughout the year at the end of year awards.
The presentation of the Sports Person of the Year Award goes to the student who has accumulated the most amount of points throughout the year in their various sporting achievements.
Parents are asked to advise the school throughout the year of the sporting achievements by completing this online form. Scores are based on events, the level of the event (district, regional, state, national etc) and the students placing within those events. You will need to complete the form for each individual acheivement. Do not place all acheivements on the one form.
At the end of the year, points are collated, and the winner announced.
Information to note:
* School sports are what counts for CSDE Sportsperson of the year. Students are recognised for their achievement in other non-school fields; however, these achievements are not part of the accumulation of points towards the CSDE Sportsperson of the year.
* You should list the highest level that your student has represented in that sport, noting that the points are only entered if the student represented, and not if they were selected and did not attend.
* Unfortunately, camp-drafting, is not a recognised school sport and so would not apply for Sportsperson of the year.
