Principal’s Note
October is coming to a close and the fall weather is definitely here! As the days get shorter and cooler, our students are working towards the end of the first term. Teachers have sent out interim reports to inform you of your child's progress and we encourage you to support your learners at home to complete tasks, seek help and keep their attendance up. Have a look through this month's newsletter to see some of the work being done by the students and staff of SHSS. We are very proud of the learning we see in our building and we encourage you, as parents, to stay involved in your child's school experience.
Our first term ends on November 7th and report cards will follow on November 21st. We also really hope that you feel free to communicate with your child's teachers regarding any questions or concerns about their learning. We will be having Parent-Teacher conferences on Thursday, November 24th from 5 to 7 and we hope to see you here.
