Year 12 Report
Term 2 Off to a Strong Start!
We’ve had a solid start to Term 2, with students settling back in and showing great focus as we dive into Unit 3 content. TrackEd profiles have been emailed out, providing valuable insights into each student’s progress. We encourage families to make the most of upcoming Parent-Teacher Interviews—bookings are now open. These conversations are key to supporting each student in maximising their learning potential this term.
It will be fantastic watching you all today at Cross Country, your enthusiasm and comradery always comes to the forefront on the track – more memories to make your senior year that bit more remarkable. Next, we look ahead to another exciting event—our final year 12 Athletics Carnival in Week 10. I can not wait to see the seniors racing down the line in their crazy, colourful costumes, it promises to be a memorable day!
Please make sure to mark your calendars for these important Term 3 and 4 events:
- Formal – Thursday 18th September
- Celebration of Excellence – Wednesday 19th November
- Graduation – Friday 21st November
Let’s keep the momentum going!

Year 10 Report
Welcome back to Term 2 Year 10s and families! I hope you had a wonderful and restful Easter break. The Year 10s have made an excellent start to the term - it has been fantastic to return to school and see so many smiling faces and productive classrooms. Term 2 is a chance for students to really start setting some goals regarding their senior schooling pathways. In Term 3, formal SET planning processes will begin, and students will make some decisions about their next step, whether that be an academic pathway with a view to University study, a school based traineeship or apprenticeship, or the procurement of part-time or full-time work. Whatever decision they make, you can rest assured that Noosa High will be there every step of the way in supporting our young people.
Currently, our Year 10s are in the process of submitting their applications for work experience. A big thank you to all students and families who have already returned their completed work experience forms ready for week 10 of this term. As we continue the term, please ensure your student is enquiring and submitting their work experience form. A big thanks to Tara Blair, our Vocational Education Officer for her continued hard work in leading the work experience program. In week 9 of this term, Year 10 students will be invited to participate in the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness Program (RYDA). This is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain experience as they start their journey in gaining their driver’s licence. Please check emails and junk folders as a digital permission form has been sent out this week. This excursion is covered by Road Safety Education and as a result will not be costed to families.
As we head towards the colder months, students and parents are reminded of our school dress code – students must wear a school jumper. Undershirts, and non-school jumpers, hoodies and jackets will be required to be removed if seen and kept in T11 for collection at 2:45. Our school uniform shop has plenty of school jumpers and trousers for sale to keep warm in the colder months. Items can be ordered online or bought directly from the uniform shop during operating hours. As Monday is our new formal uniform day, please ensure your student is wearing the formal uniform every Monday. Congratulations to our students on a great start to the Term, keep up the good work!

Year 9 Report
Year 9 students have returned from the holidays energised and eager to learn. After receiving their term 1 grades, they've been reflecting on their goals for the upcoming term. We're optimistic that they'll continue to engage positively with their studies and school life, striving for progress.
A few reminders to ensure students are prepared for classes:
- Phones are not allowed in classrooms. Students must bring a charged device (not a phone) for lessons, along with books, pens, pencils, and other required materials daily.
- Bring a water bottle to refill and keep in class.
- Use the bathroom during breaks to minimize disruptions during lessons. Establishing routines now prepares students for future workplaces.
- Uniform standards remain high, but with colder weather approaching, full school uniform is mandatory—no hoodies or non-uniform jumpers are permitted.
Contact me with any uniform-related questions.
It's been a pleasure getting to know many Year 9 students last term, and I'm looking forward to meeting more as the year progresses.

Junior Secondary Campus Coordinator Report
Welcome to Term 2!
I hope everyone enjoyed a restful break and is feeling refreshed for the busy and exciting term ahead — I know I certainly am!
Before we get too far into the term, I’d like to introduce myself as your child’s Year Level Coordinator. While I’m new to Noosa District, I’ve been teaching for several years — although never in such a stunning, leafy setting! I’m really looking forward to getting to know all our students and supporting them as they continue their journey through junior secondary.
With our short three-day week to start, we’ve eased back into routines while also taking time to reflect on a very important occasion: ANZAC Day. This day holds a special place in our school calendar as we come together to honour and remember those who have served our country. Our ANZAC service was a truly moving event, and I’d like to acknowledge Tyree, Pippa, and Remaiah for their outstanding speeches. Their words showed real maturity and respect, perfectly capturing the spirit of remembrance.
Looking ahead, I’ll be encouraging students to stay on top of uniform expectations — especially wearing white shirts on Mondays (except if it is a public holiday on the Monday and then it is Tuesday)— and to continue turning up every day, ready to give their best. Building the habit of showing up, even on the tough days, sets students up for success both in school and beyond.
I’m excited for the term ahead and all the opportunities it will bring!
