Principal's Message
"I have called you by your name you are mine" Isaiah 43:1
It has been a wonderful start to the year and by all accounts, the students and staff have settled into the new year very smoothly. I would like to especially mention how great the new year 7 cohort have transitioned to high school – all 208 of them! For the 1025 students and over 120 staff who come here every day, it is so important that all have a sense that they belong to a community who cares and knows them.
My genuine wish is that all feel welcomed, known and ultimately loved by each other and know that they are loved by God. We are reminded in the book of Isaiah that God has called each of us by name - he knows us and loves us.
I would like to extend an open invitation to all families to attend the many events and functions that occur during the course of the year. Please refer to the calendar and check Facebook for all the updates and events which occur.
A very warm welcome to the following staff who join the community this year, I am very excited about the skills and gifts you all bring to your vocation.
