This week all students are engaged in final assessment for this semester. Year 11 and 12 students are undertaking block exams. It is important all students are in full attendance until Friday 26th June. Reports and parent interviews will be mailed out and conducted early in Term 3.
Over the past term a number of buildings have been painted and have improved the appearance of the school. As well, the walkway has been completed between near the basketball court. The school has been allocated more funds next semester to continue external painting of buildings and replacement of
windows. This week we met with the project managers of the $200,000 National Schools Pride project. This project will also enhance the appear-ance of the school as well as provide increased shade area.
Once again I am extremely proud of students achieving to the highest level. Lincoln Barbare is the only recipient of a defence academy scholarship in the Wide Bay region and was presented with a laptop and certificate last Monday. Congratulations.
The impending holiday break will allow all students and staff to enjoy a well deserved break after a hectic first semester. |

Year 12 student Lincoln Barbare was presented with the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) Education Award last Monday as recognition of outstanding achieve-ment shown during his application to join ADFA.
Captain Brent Ward from the Australian Army presented Lincoln with his award and lap top on a combined assembly of Years 11 and 12. The award, presented on behalf of the Navy, Army or Air Force annually to one Year 12 student in the Wide Bay, comprises a laptop computer and personalised certificate, along with a plaque for Bundaberg High.
The selection of the award winner involves a series of aptitude tests, medical and psychological evaluations together with an analysis of academic, sporting and leadership qualities and potential. The aim is to identify those candidates with the most potential to be tomorrow’s military leaders. The selection process culminates in a visit to ADFA in Canberra where candidates appear before an Office Selection Board and are introduced to the Academy and the Canberra lifestyle.
Applicants must lodge an application before 31 December in the year they complete Year 11 and they are then put through a rigorous assessment process early in Year 12.
Winning an ADFA Education award represents an outstanding achievement and Bundaberg High is rightly proud of Lincoln’s outstanding performance in the selection process and subsequent award. |

As one of the activities for Education Week it was my pleasure to welcome Councillor Ross Sommerfeld as Principal for a Day. Ross, complete with his Bundy school tie, participated in a number of activities across the school, including speaking with a number of students, playground duty, bus duty, attending meetings and visiting classrooms. Thank you for your continued support in the community for our school and State Education.
Swine Flu continues to impact on our community. You would have received a letter outlining the procedures required to be implemented if we have a positive notice. Notification to parents will be through the local media as well as phone calls. Please ensure your contact details are correct. I ask all parents to continue to reinforce the necessity for high levels of personal hygiene.
Over the next 3 weeks, students will be involved in assessment. Year 11 and 12 students will participate in block exams. Attendance for all students is required so all assessment is completed, including the completion of competencies. Reports will be issued at the beginning of Semester 2.
Winter sport inter-school fixtures on Wednesday afternoon are in full swing. It is terrific to see so many students involved. Support from parents is very much appreciated. |
