TERM ONE SUCCESS 

We are happy to report overall a very good set of academic reports went out to families at the end of Term 1.

PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS 

If you have not done so already, please take the time to sit with your child and discuss their interim report, emailed at the end of last term. Celebrate successes and where improvements are needed, set some specific, realistic and measurable goals. Should you require clarification or need to immediately discuss your child’s progress, remember that teachers welcome contact from parents; all teachers’ emails are listed under ‘contacts’ on the PBC website.     

Parent Teacher Interview bookings are opening soon. Booking information regarding our upcoming Parent Teacher Interviews will be emailed to all parents directly on Monday 29th April. These are to be held across Tuesday May 14th, Wednesday May 15th and Thursday May 16th. The interviews are conducted over several afternoons and evenings, to provide as many opportunities as possible for you to meet with teachers. Students are most welcome to be part of the interviews; it can be very useful for them to ask their own questions and to receive direct feedback from teachers, with you present. Teachers are also hoping to learn more about the student, and will welcome information that will help them support each individual in their learning. We look forward to meeting with you.     

WORK EXPERIENCE YEAR 9  

All year 9‘s are invited to organise work experience in week 10 of Term 3. This is an opportunity to explore a career of interest and for those interested in school-based apprenticeships and traineeships for senior school can be the start of this relationship.  Information packs will be distributed to students at Assemblies and initial paperwork can be returned to student services.  The school will then make contact with the employer to finalise the placement.     

FIGHT FOR YOUTH 

Fight for Youth is an inclusive, multicultural youth centre in Currumbin, that supports a diverse range of youth and offers therapeutic-based programs through physical activities for people of all abilities. Fight for Youth aims to build confidence, self-awareness and acceptance through sport, music, art, leadership, mentoring, empowerment and crime-prevention programs.   

Due to the success of the Fight for Youth program we have 11 students in Year 9 participating this term.   

GUIDANCE OFFICER WEEK 

We are celebrating the invaluable contribution of our guidance officers who provide counselling, and advice across the areas of educational, behavioural, vocational, personal, social, family, mental health and wellbeing. 

School staff play a vital role in recognising the early signs of students’ stress or struggles. If you think a student may benefit from support, reach out to our Junior Secondary school guidance officer Anna Willis - awill464@eq.edu.au
