Campus Principal’s Report | Term 1 Week 6
AU 2026 CP/HoD Conference: Lead Together: Alone We Strive, Together We Thrive
The 2026 Campus Principal and Regional Head of Department Conference brought leaders from across the AU region together under this year's inspiring theme: 'Lead Together: Alone we strive, Together we thrive.' The event highlighted the strength of collaboration and the importance of shared expertise in driving improved student outcomes across all campuses. Mrs Heather Fallon, Mrs Sarah Roper and Mrs Jacki Allen were also in attendance representing the outstanding breadth of expertise and passion we have in our teaching team
I felt incredibly privileged to present part of our Academic Improvement Strategy – Year 11 and 12 - Academic Goal Setting and Mentoring Program. The presentation showcased how student achievement data is being used to support personalised goal setting and meaningful academic reflection. Following the session, several Campus Principals expressed strong interest in incorporating similar data informed mentoring approaches within their own campuses affirming the relevance and impact of this work.
Calling all Mentors – if any past students, recent graduates or extended community are interested in acting as a Mentor for our current Year 11 and 12 students please contact, Lead CA – Kelvin Willy

MAP Growth and Achievement
Congratulations to all students who met or exceeded their growth goals in the 2026 Fall round of MAP Growth testing. In our last newsletter we celebrated outstanding individual achievements which reflect the effort, persistence, and focus our students have demonstrated throughout the testing cycle. Since then students have been setting their MAP growth goals for the Semester 2 testing cycle in consultation with their MAP mentors.
Final results are currently being confirmed, and MAP reports will be distributed to families at the end of next week. These will provide clear insights into individual progress and areas for continued development. We are planning on running our next parent Webinar “MAP Matters” in Week 8 once the reports have been distributed
To celebrate the achievements of our students, the Senior Leadership Team is planning a BBQ lunch. This will be a great opportunity to acknowledge students' hard work and the positive learning culture they continue to build. Further details will be shared soon.
NAPLAN in Weeks 7–8
We wish our Year 3, 5, 7, and 9 students the very best as they complete NAPLAN assessments across Weeks 7–8. These assessments provide valuable insights into student learning, and we are confident our students will do their very best. Students are encouraged to stay calm, do their best, and approach each assessment one question at a time as just one part of their broader learning to learn journey.
Wednesday 11th of March – NAPLAN Writing.
Thursday 12th of March – NAPLAN Reading.
Friday 13th of March - NAPLAN Conventions of Language
Monday 16th of March – Catch-up Tests (*if required)
Tuesday 17th of March – NAPLAN Numeracy
We ask that as far as possible, parents and families avoid students absence or late arrivals during this testing block.
Regional Assembly
Last week, our students watched the Regional Assembly, joining peers from campuses across the AU region. The assembly offered a meaningful opportunity to celebrate Achievement and reflect upon the importance of collaboration, leadership development, and student voice in action. Congratulations to Whitney Bird and Samantha Reardon, both of whom were recognized for their excellent HSC results in 2025.
