Welcome back to staff who have been on extended leave: Cherie Caon, Ian Davidson, Gabby Surinya and Kate Reid. Welcome to Craig Knowles, our new Pastoral Support worker.

Congratulations to our successful Year 12 students in 2012. Our SACE completion rate is now 85%. I am very proud of our students and our hardworking committed senior school team. We have students going to TAFE, University, taking up traineeships, apprenticeships and employment.

Our foci for 2013 will continue to be literacy, numeracy, attendance and wellbeing.

The successful partnership between school, home and the student is essential for students to meet with success. The many teams at Paralowie value their relationships with families and look forward to a successful year.

Please keep the date free for our Annual General Meeting in the Community Centre. All Welcome!
