This week, during our whole of college assembly, I took the time to reflect on and share the outstanding opportunities and experiences that our staff have provided our students throughout the 10 week term. 

I was able to share with our students a showcase of photos that celebrate these events, and of course, thank our staff for taking the time to seek out and organise such great events. I have added these photos to the article today. Having opportunities like these available to our students increases their sense of belonging to our College and connects them with staff and students with similar interests and passions, and I would encourage all students to get involved.

To list some of the events through Term 2, they included:

• ANZAC Ceremony
• Interschool Sport days
• Make Bullying History Presentation (Year 7 and 8)
• Supported local primary schools for their sports days
• ALP – TAFE QLD Screen and Media workshop
• Foxwell Careers Expo and Information evenings
• Gold Coast Careers Expo
• Year 6 Enrolment Information Evening
• Coral Fanfair
• Night at the Museum
• Farewell – Ms Amor
• Netball, Football, Rugby League competitions
• Starbound Competition at Miami SHS
• Gold Coast Mountain Bike Competition
• Waves Forward
• Film Festival - ALP
• Moulin Rouge – Creative Voices
• Debating competitions
• Instrumental Music Concert 
• Athletics Carnival

Next term, we have a couple of staffing changes. Ms Elle Bullock has been successful in gaining an Inclusion Head of Department role at Kedron State High School. She will commence this role in week 3 of next term. We are also introducing 2 new Head of Department positions to support students in Wellbeing, Engagement and Learning. We will be joined by Ms Jessica Maxwell in the Year 9 and 10, and Mr Bryce Berrell will be the Year 7 and 8 SWEL HOD. We will be advertising for a new Year 7 Head of Year to commence as early as possible in term 3 to continue to support our year 7s. 

There will also be an advertisement for the permanent Principal position at Foxwell over the holidays, to appoint the new permanent Principal early in Term 3. I will continue at Foxwell until the appointment of the new Principal. I look forward to continue to work with you and your children during this time. 

As we head into the holidays, I would like to remind you of the upcoming Student Led Conferences in Week 5 of Term 3. Please save the date for these important conversations with your child and their teachers.
