  • February 2016
    FEBRUARY 2016 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Taking every opportunity that comes your way It has been a great start to the term and already I can see many students taking the big steps to grow their potential. Every experience, every success, every failure builds our ability to grow. Action fuels fulfilment, unpacks experiences and provides colour and texture to our lives. I challenge all students to set a goal of refining and improving one area of their subjects every week. Striving for your best will inspire others! Schools are places that successfully manage a huge number of individual students…1100 in fact here! We endeavour to build self‐regulation in students and the skills it takes to work cooperatively in the real world that is defined by boundaries and rules. Work Health and Safety is a modern boundary to protect all people at work and school. Thank you to the vast majority of parents who have supported our shoe policy. We are very grateful. As a school we have set our standard and you have ensured that your child understands the need to have the correct footwear. We appreciate that you have successfully negotiated this decision with your child. Having boundaries on the small issues makes negotiating the big issues much easier. Mr Paul Tracey Principal FROM THE COLLEGE PRINCIPAL On Friday 5 February Callaghan College staged its DATES FOR YOUR DIARY Annual Presentation Day at the University of Newcastle’s Great Hall.

About 900 volunteer firefighters from the Rural Fire Service have been deployed, along with their colleagues from New South Wales Fire Brigades, Forests NSW and the National Parks and Wildlife Service. I acknowledge the employers of all of our volunteers for their ongoing support in allowing them to leave their workplaces to protect the community.

  • November 2017
    NOVEMBER 2017 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the years pass. So here we are at the end of 2017… a year where Wallsend Campus has excelled in so many areas. I would particularly like to mention the last set of results we received: the Year 10 VALID results (Science). In ,this exam Wallsend was above average in all 6 tested areas, whilst in the extended writing response, 38.9% of all students achieved the highest band. This is an amazing tribute to the work done by students and the preparation afforded them by not only their Science teachers, but by the teachers at the school in general. I am sure it will come as no surprise to the school community that this is my last newsletter as Principal because I will finish my role here at the end of the year and retire in early 2018. It has been my privilege to work with such a remarkable, energetic and supportive community. We, together, have created a Campus which is the envy of many other communities. I have really had the best gig in town So where to from here… I challenge you to continue to work together to be the best you can be, not settle for second best, always aim for the stars and celebrate because Callaghan College Wallsend Campus continues to be a showcase for student achievement. My sincere thanks to you all Mr Paul Tracey, Principal ENGLISH FACULTY NEWS FUTURE STARS OF RADIO ‐ On Thursday 2 November, some Year 8 students from CCWC participated in an excursion to the 2NUR FM radio station to pre‐record song introductions for their very own radio show, titled Billy Shaker's Hot Hits.

    COAL EXPORT TERMINAL KOORAGANG ISLAND, NEW SOUTH WALES COMMUNITY EDITION 2 NEWSLETTER 2019 CEO Message We’re excited to bring to you the latest edition of our community newsletter. There have been many things happening at NCIG over the middle third of the year, which we know you’ll enjoy reading about. Our operational capacity and level of responsiveness during breakdowns were also of a high quality. During June, a number of our customers had high shipping targets to meet for the end of financial year. Our Operations Team met this challenge with enthusiasm and was able to provide a level of service that met our customers’ expectations and beyond. This was in the face of occasional breakdowns, which were responded to and resolved by our team to get us back on track. It was truly a great effort by our entire business. While we continue to kick goals in our operation, we are building ever stronger relationships with our community. The first half of 2019 has been a very busy time for our community relations activities. In April we recommenced active consultation with our local community through our Community Engagement Group, which includes representatives from neighbouring suburbs. Our support of the women in the STEM program, HunterWiSE, also expanded with site visits and interactive group activities with students from Newcastle High and Callaghan College – Waratah. It was great to see the students captivated by what can be achieved through engineering and automation, which included some fun with Lego BOOST automation kits to show how our stacker reclaimers can be programmed.
