Since becoming the Principal of SGHS, I have had the opportunity to be involved with some extraordinary professional learning and this week has been no exception. I have been immersed in a program called “Stronger Smarter”. Its values and philosophies have challenged me to think carefully about all aspects of the culture in our school. I know, from firsthand experience, that the culture at SGHS is strong and positive, we are a very good school. However, we cannot rest on our laurels. We need to be working towards a culture of high expectations relationships, a culture in which every student is hungry to learn and a culture in which all students are proud of their heritage. These are our challenges if we are to move from being a very good school to be a great school.
School Social
School socials are an important part of the fabric of our school and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff and SRC who organised the event on Wednesday night. I have been told that the students had a great time and that some of the staff who supervised even enjoyed the choice of music, busting out some moves. Thank you very much for giving up your evening and enabling this event to happen.
Uniforms
This has been a difficult term in relation to uniforms because we have had limited supplies of the new style clothing. Now that the new stock has arrived, all students need to be in uniform every day. If you need financial assistance to purchase new uniforms, please contact the school. Remember also that the old-style uniforms are still acceptable. If we are to function efficiently as a school, we need to look like a school and that means we all need to be in uniform.
