MISSING LINK

Term 4 2025

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE As we come to the end of this year that recognises that a quarter of this century is over, I want to extend thanks to everyone - staff, students and the community-for another wonderful year. As you look back over this term in the Missing Link you will see the achievements of so many students. You will see the success of programs like AFL Indigenous Academy, SALSA Youth Voices, Volleyball, Learning Neighbourhood programs including Milkshakes and Monet, Gifted Gateway and Chess on the Hill. You will see the wonderful Art works from Year 12 and the rest of the school. You will read about year-based programs, the Orientation for Year 7 2026, the MADD concerts, Schools Spectacular and so much more. I want to congratulate the 467 students who represented the school at zone, regional, CHS or national sports. I want to congratulate our girls AFL team for winning the GWS Amanda Farrugia Cup. And I want to celebrate the HAKA Warriors team who won the PCYC trophy for the best school again in 2025. If you have been following the school's Facebook page and website, you will have seen hundreds of students engaged with their learning and creating stories about their journey through high school. When you read further you will see the Presentation addresses for Years 7-11 and I want to acknowledge every student in Years 10 and 11 who received their RoSA this term. I also want to acknowledge the highest number of students with GPAs over 4.0 in recent years. In Year 10 alone there were over 40 students who achieved these results. I want to thank the staff. It has been a year of highlights and strong professional work. Congratulations to Uitime Levi for winning the NSW School Sport Unit award for the 'Leadership in Female Sporting Initiatives' award. In a year where all schools have focused on High Performance and Gifted Education, our school has become truly elite in female sporting competition, opportunity and winning outcomes. It is always exciting at this time of the year to welcome staff who will join us in 2026, and it is also a sad time when we farewell staff who have worked with us as they move to other schools and, in some cases, move to take leave and retire. Thank you and best wishes to Shauna Pollard (2009), Kate Kennerson (2009) and Renee Tapuska (2008). And finally, congratulations and welcome to Melanie Douglas in her new role as the third Deputy Principal in our school.
