Welcome to Term 2. I would like to thank you for your ongoing partnership and support for what has been a very smooth and busy start to the term. In this newsletter you will see the rich and diverse opportunities students and staff members create and engage in to enable dynamic learning at Adelaide High School. One example of this is the student initiated ANZAC Commemoration Service held in Week 10. I would like to acknowledge and congratulate Ashwin Benny, Josh Schellenberger, Dhruv Sharma, Jagreet Malhi, Kaartik Walia, Rory Parker and Tamanna Joshi who worked in partnership with Mr Alex Garlick to design and prepare this outstanding service.

It is with great pleasure that I welcome back Ms Deb Rankine, Mr Campbell Menzies and Ms Lisa Kriaris who have been on leave. I would also like to welcome new staff to Adelaide High School Ms Rebecca Walton, Ms Haylee Wilson, Mr Matthew Jordan, Ms Deb O’Brien, Ms Nicole Goodchild and Ms Madeleine Melios.

At the end of Term 1, I had the pleasure of attending the Rowing Presentation evening at the Adelaide Pavilion. It was fantastic to see so many students and families celebrating the end of the season and the many achievements. I would like to acknowledge and thank Ms Lauren Kolega for her leadership and hard work as Rowing Coordinator for the past 4 seasons. Lauren will complete her role as Rowing Coordinator at the end of Term 2 to engage in some new challenges. I wish Lauren all the very best. Adelaide High School was the venue for the South Australia Science Teachers Association conference held during the holidays. I had the unique opportunity of opening this event and highlighting the importance of STEM and developing the skills and capabilities of our learners to enable them to thrive in the future. Parent Teacher Interviews were held on Tuesday, May 8 from 1:40 pm to 8:00 pm. The interviews were a chance to reflect on student learning from Term 1 and put in place strategies to support ongoing learning and improvement. This year approximately 550 parents booked interviews. As always, we are committed to ongoing review and improvement and I thank you for completing the online survey distributed by Mr Michail Darley. The Greek Study Tour has returned after a very successful visit under the leadership of Mr Manuel Spyrou and Ms Anna Axarlis. Parent meetings will be taking place shortly in relation to tours to Spain (Ms Cati Ryan and Mr Alex Varricchio) and Japan (Ms Helen Manning Bennett and Mr Kwok Kam) to visit our sister schools. The tour to New Caledonia is also well advanced (Mr Greg Maher and Ms Mireille LeDolĂŠdec). Homestay placements for our Italian visitors have been finalised and they will arrive on the weekend before the start of Term 3. Kind regards, Ms Cez Green | Principal
