From Deputy Principal

I would like to welcome Luke Ferdinands to the St George SHS. Luke will take up his position as Acting Principal on Monday while York is away. Luke started his career in Chinchilla where he spent five years and met his wife, Kylie, also a teacher. They managed to travel around some parts of western QLD, including St George and Dirranbandi during this time. Luke has also worked in other schools such as Aspley, Mitchelton, Pine Rivers and Ferny Grove SHS.

Tonight the musical The Adams Family hits the stage. Congratulations to all of the staff and students involved in producing this event.

I am also very proud of the way the Year 12 students have conducted themselves during this time of external exams. Congratulations Year 12’s, you are all doing great.

Good Luck to the Year 11 students for next week as they start their exams.

From HOD Senior Secondary

We have started assessment time with a flying start. All Year 12 Maths and English assessment is complete. Students are reminded to study at home and complete assignments on time. For student who are struggling, due to sickness please fill out an extension form from the front office.

Year 10

Miss Wallace is continuing to organise the Leadership camp and has sent home letters with some further information. Next week there will be a final price and further information.

Year 11

Students are finalising Unit 2 assessment this term and they will have a week of block exams in week 5. Students will only be required to attend when they have a session for their classes. These sessions may be to sit exams, finalise assessment or get help with assessment before it is due. Attendance at these sessions is mandatory.

Year 12

The year 12s have started their external exams very well. This is a new process across the state and we are all getting used to what it all entails.

Due to the extended nature of the exams students will continue with scheduled classes until they have finalised assessment for that subject, after this they may either sign out or stay in tutorial classes at school. Below is the assessment schedule (highlighted are the External Exams).
