澳大利亚留学：Kingaroy State High School介绍

　　Kingaroy State High School（http://www.liuxue360.com/au/kingaroyshs/）is a co-education school catering for students in Years 8 to 12. Our total enrolment is 940, and apart from our main campus in Toomey Street, Kingaroy, we run an alternate Education Program and a Flexischool. These programs are run off site to cater for the needs of particular students.

　　The apparent retention rate of students from Year 8 to Year 12 in 2007 was 87%.

　　Staff Development Priorities for 2007 were:

　　Improving teacher skills in student literacy standards.

　　Improving staff capacity to teach Information and Communication Technology.

　　Assisting staff to promote and develop self discipline in students.

　　Improving staff skills in engaging students in the Middle Phase of Learning.

　　Improving teaching staff skills in extending high performing students in subject areas, sport, music and other activities.

　　Supporting staff in curriculum development including Vocational Education Skills.

　　Understanding categories of Special Needs, skilling teachers to cater for these and preparation for Educational Adjustment Program processes.

　　“ Partners for Success” training for all staff.

　　STUDENTS

　　Term 2 has started strongly with students engaged in their assessment and a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. A large number of students participated in the community ANZAC Day parade and service, with our Band and Choir being a focal point.

　　The Year 10 students hosted our ANZAC parade at school and did a great job. I would like to thank Mr Don Davey, representing the Kingaroy Memerambi RSL, for his time to deliver an address to the school community.

　　Year 9 students are in the process of final preparation for NAPLAN, starting on Tuesday 15 May. Year 12 students have commenced QCS training.

　　YEAR 11 AND 12 CATCH UP

　　The school is developing a process whereby students in Years 11 and 12, who have not submitted assessment or fall behind in their VET competencies, will be directed to use the Flexi time to “catch up”. It is imperative that all Year 11 and 12 students submit assessment by the due date and stay on track to complete their VET qualifications by the end of Year 12. More information out soon.

　　STAGE 1 PERFORMING ARTS COMPLEX

　　The Performing Arts Complex is progressing extremely well. The slab has been laid and the frame of the building is taking shape. This is a very exciting time for the school and I look forward to giving you up-dates over the coming months.

　　CROSS COUNTRY

　　Yesterday the students participated in the annual Interhouse Cross Country and it was great to see almost all students participating. Well done.
