From the College Executive
A very warm welcome to our college community for the 2024 school year to our new and continuing families.
We believe that a positive school experience for our young people relies on a strong partnership between school, home and the whole local community.
Parents, carers, and the broader community play a vital role in supporting successful learning outcomes for our children. The research tells us that the most meaningful partnerships are those where schools, parents, students and the community work together to focus on student learning. Parent and community engagement that is effectively focused on student learning can deliver powerful outcomes for our children.
We have a number of wonderful events coming up across the year that strengthen the relationship between our College and parents.
The first of these takes place next week, when parents have the opportunity to provide input into our School Review. Community feedback is welcome, so have your say and support your child’s education. All feedback remains confidential. Please contact the school office by ringing (07) 5555 3333 or by emailing admin@foxwellssc.eq.edu.au if you are interested in speaking to a reviewer. Alternatively, register your interest by emailing reviews@qed.qld.gov.au. More information about the review process is available from the Department of Education website: www.schoolreviews.education.qld.gov.au.
Later this term, there will be an opportunity to attend our Teacher and Family Meet and Greet Evening. This will take place on Tuesday 27th February and we will share more information about this with you in the weeks to come.
Every time you read our school newsletter, engage in student-led conferencs, respond to the School Opinion Survey, help out with homework, pick up the phone, send an email, come in for a conversation, attend an assembly, school event, or a P&C meeting, you learn more about what role our school plays within the community. Thank you for all that you do to support the College.
Reflecting on the previous year always highlights the need for intentional strategies to ensure that every student has the opportunity to be the very best they can be, no matter where they live or what kind of learning challenges they may face. We are proud to share with you our College Vision and key improvement goals for 2024.
We believe in the pursuit of success through individual effort and achievement and the development of twenty-first century skills to equip and enable our learners to make a powerful difference in an ever-changing world.
We will achieve this for our learners through an unrelenting focus on our four College goals, and through our high expectations for students, staff and College community members.
Our students have, and always will be the centre of all that we do here at Foxwell and we are proud to be pursuing success for each and every learner in our school community.
Thank you for your support in helping our young people to meet their roles and responsibilities as students in our College, specifically our College's high expectations in:
- Being on time and ready to learn
- Demonstrating positive learning behaviours
- Dress and appearance
- Demonstrating effort by working to the best of our individual abilities at all times
Welcome to our 2024 school year,
Foxwell State Secondary College Executive Team.
