I am looking forward to seeing parents at our annual Course Counselling day on Tuesday 5 September but please feel free to contact me or other school staff if you need our assistance.

We will review the impact of these mid-term snapshots and may provide them for all students in term 4 if they have had a positive effect on student achievement. This is designed to increase students focus on getting their work completed to a higher quality so that their Term 3 report will reflect greater improvement. There are about 30 students who are still working hard with their teachers to complete this compulsory requirement and we are expecting many more A and B grades from them! Unfortunately we did not get a significant improvement in students task completion from term 1 to 2, so in week 5, a snapshot report will be available for years students and parents. Indonesian teachers visit Para Hills High School over a 3 week period. It is fantastic to report that 82% of the Year 12 students, who completed their SACE Research Project in semester 1, achieved an A or B grade. The Year 12 group showed the largest increase in A and B grades, which was also very pleasing. We were pleased that the term 2 results showed a 3% increase in the percentage of A and B grades.

You might remember that I mentioned that we are working hard to increase the proportion of A and B grades that students are achieving. Thanks so much to the student formal committee, Dr Swanson, Ms Hill and Ms Mercurio for ensuring it was such a memorable evening. The students looked amazing and everyone danced and sang the night away.

On Friday 4 August, the Year 12s had their formal, which was outstanding. Also, we took year 9 students to Mylor for a 3 day camp began hosting 7 teachers from Indonesia, who are learning strategies from our teachers to improve their teaching of English and IT took 3 ICE FACTOR ice hockey players to a formal reception at Government House prepared year 8 and year 11 students for their visits to Flinders University. As well as the usual programs, just last week, we hosted a Year 6-8 Science Expo for students from seven schools and a STEM Careers Expo as part of National Science Week. 1 From the Principal Janette Scott As always, school is a busy place with students and staff involved in a myriad of learning prgrams.
