Issue 6 Term 3 2019 Issue 6 Term 3 2019 FROM THE PRINCIPAL Course Counselling I have been impressed with the level of planning and research that families have undertaken in the Course Counselling process. It is very important that great care is taken in selecting subjects and reserves as we will create a timetable and employ teachers based on these selections. The ability to change selections once the timetable has been created and staff employed is very difficult.

It was great to see so many students enjoying the popcorn on offer and to spend time with each other. Thank you to the Wellbeing team for their support.
