1 PRINCIPAL’S REPORT On Tuesday we opened the school’s new Senior Study Centre (SSC) at a ceremony aƩended by Ms Jo Haylen MP, member for Summer Hill, Ms Ros Moxham Director of Public Schools as well parents, staff and students. The SSC will provide boys in Years 11 and 12 with a dedicated space to study and access tutorial support. The centre is an adult learning environment and technology rich facility which provides resources for the boys to maximise their success in the HSC. The centre is fully staffed with a teacher whose role is to provide support to boys in the senior years. A team of Year 11 volunteers worked with staff to design the concept, layout, resources and technology in the SSC. It was a mammoth task to achieve in just over two terms as the project involved moving exisƟng staffrooms and extensive computer cabling and electrical upgrading. The achievement is a tangible example of what can be achieved at our school when parents, staff and students work together for a common goal to benefit the boys. This is the first significant upgrade of faciliƟes that is scheduled as part of our school plan over the next few years.
