Acting Principal's Message
Security Camera Installation during the Holidays
I want to inform parents that an added security measure to prevent vandalism and vaping at the College is currently being put in place. Security and surveillance cameras are being installed at various points around the College to monitor student movement. Whilst it is disappointing to have to implement this measure, increased vandalism, as well as higher rates of damage to the College bathrooms during the school day and a high incidence of student vaping, has led to this decision. Video footage will only be accessible internally at the College and only by members of leadership, or police if required. Whilst I have little doubt, that both the vandalism and vaping involve a very small percentage of students, it is not something staff, students or parents wish to have continued as part of the St Joseph’s Regional College culture.
Term 2 Wrap-up
As this term concludes, I wish to express my sincere gratitude for the dedication and commitment to learning shown by staff, students and their families over the past semester. It is also warming to know after the past two years of disruptions, that students have now established routines and consistency around their learning.
Semester One Award Ceremonies
On Wednesday we celebrated and acknowledged excellence in academic achievements of students from Years 7-11. Congratulations to all students for their efforts so far this year. Occasions such as today, present students with an opportunity to reflect on their personal academic goals, and I would encourage all students to set new goals for Semester Two. As a College community, we will continue to set goals that challenge our students, both academically and interpersonal, to achieve their personal best and to reflect on how they are able to serve others.
I would like to thank the staff involved for their organisation and for ensuring the Year 7-10 and Year 11 Semester One Awards Ceremonies were a huge success. While I understand, that not all families are able to attend College events; I would like to acknowledge and thank the many parents who were able to attend the ceremonies. It was certainly lovely to have your presence at our College.
