We are officially halfway through the term! I thank all parents that replied to my last newsletter article introducing themself or just extending a warm welcome to the role, it has been great to establish relationships with families, and to strengthen the relationship between school and home with so many of you.

A reminder that student leadership applications close on Monday 27th February. There are many fantastic opportunities available, including Arts Ambassador, Citizenship Ambassador, SPIRIT Ambassador, STEM Ambassador, Sustainability Ambassador and Indigenous Champion. A copy of the Year 8 Student Leader Application has been attached to this article for your ease of access.

I would like to reaffirm the clear and consistent message to students of being Respectful, Responsible Learners, in all they do in and out of the classroom. Whether that be in their classrooms, playing handball at lunch with their friends, catching the bus to or from school, or visiting Westfield, they are the face of Foxwell. Their uniform and their behaviour is a representation that they belong to a community that values Service, Perseverance, Integrity, Respect & Responsibility, Inclusion, and Teamwork. Above all, Kindness is the Foxwell Way.

I want to remind students that our College offers a digital incident reporting platform, located on the student SharePoint. This provides a timely and anonymous way for students to directly report incidents to their Head of Year. We encourage students to write statements this way if they wish, although we always encourage you to go to your Head of Year if you wish! See screenshot below for how to record a digital incident statement:
