COROWAHigh School NEWSLETTER
Report with Dr Joanne Bellette
Support through the roll-over periodAs Corowa High School functions under a Compressed Curriculum, the school undertakes a ‘Roll-over’ or change of Years on Monday 19 November (Week 6 in Term 4). This date is rapidly approaching and heralds a time of reflection for staff as their complete student reports and finalise teaching programs. It is also a time of excitement for students as they contemplate what the next year of learning will bring. New timetables, electives, classes and teachers means a lot of change, which some students will cope with, whilst others may need help or guidance from home or school. If you child needs additional supports please contact the school, or have your child speak to Mrs Pearsall to see how we can help.
Our school plan: What’s next?We are nearing the end of the first year of our new school plan and I am pleased with the progress the staff, students and community of Corowa High School have made toward meeting our three strategic directions (Innovation and Engagement in Learning, Teaching and Leading). In the coming years, we will continue to strive toward excellence as we further embed our new programs into practice.
Areas we have identified for further development in 2018 and beyond include broadening our innovative teaching practices through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) classes and Project Based Learning. We will continue to ensure that all staff attain and maintain their Proficient Teacher Accreditation with the National Education Standards Authority (NESA) and create a learning environment that responds more effectively to student learning needs through the creation of Extension classes. Other areas that will hold our focus include the amplification of our connections with our school community through alternate education programs and ongoing work to improve student literacy and numeracy outcomes. We are making great progress in many of these areas and I look forward to reporting on this progress in the coming years.

relationships and protective strategies.
Friends make big donationLocal group, Friends of the Library, made a very generous donation to Corowa High School on Friday.
Friends of the Library, who work in conjunction with the Corowa Library, donated $500 to go towards purchasing new books for our school.
We are one of five local school to receive a book grant from the Friends group.
John’s First SpeechFormer School Captain, John Schnelle, has taken out second place in the national ‘My First Speech’ competition.
This competition, for students in Years 10, 11 and 12, challenges entrants to compose the first speech they would deliver in Parliament as a newly elected Federal member.
With his second placing, John will present his speech in Parliament House while the house sits in early December.
Congratulations on this outstanding achievement!
