By Mr Brad Cooney, Deputy Principal and Head of Secondary School

Dear Students, Staff, Parents, and Guardians,

Welcome to a new school year, I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to each one of you. It is with great excitement and anticipation that we embark on this journey together, filled with endless possibilities and opportunities for growth.

For our returning students, welcome back! Your presence brings energy, enthusiasm, and a sense of familiarity that anchors our school community. We are excited to see you continue to flourish academically, socially, and personally as you progress through another year of learning and discovery.

To our new students, a heartfelt welcome! Stepping into a new environment can be both exhilarating and a little unsettling, however, rest assured you are not alone. Our school community is built on a foundation of inclusivity, kindness, and support, and we are here to help you feel at home from day one.

To our parents and guardians, thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children. We understand the immense responsibility that comes with this trust, and we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where every student can thrive.

As Deputy Principal, my door is always open to students, staff, parents, and guardians alike. Whether you have questions, concerns, or simply want to share your thoughts and ideas, please do not hesitate to reach out. Effective communication and collaboration are essential to the success of our school community, and I am here to support you in any way that I can.

This year in the Secondary School we are committed to fostering a culture of excellence, resilience, and innovation. Together, we will embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, celebrate diversity as a source of strength, and cultivate a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom.

As we embark on this exciting journey together, let us remember the words of Nelson Mandela: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."

By working together, supporting one another, and striving for excellence in all that we do, I have no doubt that we will make a positive and lasting impact on our school, our community, and the world at large.

Here's to a fantastic school year filled with learning, laughter, and limitless possibilities!
