Head of Secondary
Mr Peter McLellan | Head of Secondary
I have been very proud of how well students have been going in their online classes. It is through difficulty that we grow most as people, and this is a time that this can happen for all our school community.
Thank you to all parents who have been so helpful with assisting your children in Secondary School to cope with their online learning. We appreciate your support.
Can I continue to encourage you to put your trust and find your strength in Jesus Christ.
Year 12
Year 12 continue to undertake their Trials online. It has been difficult, but overall our students have been doing a great job. Hang in there and continue to apply yourselves to the best of your ability.

Secondary Preliminary Analysis of 2021 NAPLAN Results

Year 9 Numeracy results are particularly strong, with 35% of students achieving the top band or above! More comprehensive analysis to follow. Individual student reports will be available at the end of Term 3.
