Principal's Report - Paul Harding - Term 4 2023
2023 has been an exceptional year marked by remarkable achievements in academics, sports, and cultural activities. The dedication of our students and staff toward our shared values has been the cornerstone of this success. It's awesome to see how our engagement with the community has flourished, showcasing the collective effort and spirit within our school.
We also say farewell and thank you to some members of our teaching staff—Miss Bekk Taylor, Miss Irini Alexiou, Mr. Ben Gaul, and Ms. Rachel Coxan. Your invaluable contributions have left an indelible mark on our school's legacy. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
Looking ahead, 2024 promises to be a year filled with new possibilities and fresh faces. We welcome the following teachers, Mrs. Rachelle Wilkinson, Mr Dave Chappell, Ms. Carley Walker, Mr. James Ravestijn, Ms. Jacqueline de Jonge, and Miss Sophie Mitchell to our school community. We eagerly await the positive contributions they will bring to our school.
As we approach the Christmas, I wish everyone a safe, joyful, and relaxing Christmas. I look forward to embracing the new year with enthusiasm, determination, and a collective commitment to making it a year of growth and success for all.
On Thursday, 19 December, our Year 10's enjoyed their Celebration Dinner at the Watershed. After gathering at Gutteridge Gardens, students made their way in style to the Yacht Club arriving in front of the large crowd. After hundreds of photos, students and staff enjoyed reminiscing about an amazing four years at Wynyard High School, with Miss Taylor, Miss Russell, Murray and Ryan sharing many stories.

What a beautiful day to spend together on the beach at Boat Harbour for our school picnic on Wednesday. Students and staff enjoyed playing volleyball, cricket, throwing the frisbee, swimming and spending time with friends. We thank the BHBSLSC for keeping us safe in the water.

Community Involvement Day 2023
On Friday, 15 December, Wynyard High School held its annual Community Involvement Day. This day was designed to empower our students to actively contribute to the community that has been a steadfast source of support throughout the year. This year's Community Involvement Day showcased a wide variety of activities, offering students a diverse range of options to engage with and support their local community. These activities included, Community Kindness, Super Suds, Tabloid Sports, You’ve Got a Friend in Me, Crustacean Conservation, From Little Things Big Things Grow, Nature Play with Children, Make it with Men, Community Mural, Thank You, Cooking for a Cause, Cookie Creations, Life on the Lawn, Clean Up Wynyard and Lend a Helping Hand.
We extend our gratitude to the community groups and organisations that partnered with us to make this day a success. Together, we are nurturing students who understand the importance of giving back to the community that supports them.

On Monday, 18 December, Wynyard High School students who embraced our school values in Term 4 were rewarded with year level excursions. Our Year 7 cohort travelled to Burnie to participate in lawn bowls, play at the All Abilities Playground and then watch the newly released Wonka film. They had a great day with many students commenting that it was their, “favourite day of the school year.”

Principals Speech from Presentation Evening
Good evening, guests, staff, families, and the amazing students at Wynyard High School. As we gather for our Presentation Evening, it's an honour to celebrate achievements and bid farewell to another remarkable year.
I extend my gratitude to the Honourable Robert Beech Jones for sharing his incredible journey from a Wynyard High School student to being appointed as a justice of the High Court of Australia. Your accomplishments are a source of inspiration to us all, and your presence tonight enriches our celebration. Thank you for taking the time to inspire our community.
Thank you extends to the numerous individuals, businesses, and community supporters whose generosity has made tonight's event possible. Your contributions have been instrumental in recognizing and celebrating the achievements of our students.
Tonight is a special occasion as we celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of our students across Grades 7 to 12. To all those being recognized tonight, congratulations! Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have been truly remarkable.
A special mention goes out to our Year 12 leavers, Brock, Dylan, Josiah, and Blake, for successfully completing their TCE or TCEA at Wynyard High. Your achievements signify dedication and hard work, and we commend you for your outstanding efforts.
Reflecting on our 2023 priorities—Student Reading, Student Engagement, and Attendance—I'm thrilled to share our success in Student Reading. Our recent PAT Testing Reading growth has surged from 72% with medium to high growth in 2022 to an impressive 88% in 2023. This has led to a notable increase from 78% to 88% of our students meeting their PAT Reading year levels across the school. Additionally, we've seen an increase from 71% to 84% of students meeting Australian Curriculum English standards for their respective year levels in 2023.
It is also fantastic to see similar growth in the PAT/Aust curriculum Mathematics results.
As a staff we have celebrated these achievements, however we acknowledge the challenges ahead in maintaining and surpassing these accomplishments in 2024. We will eagerly embrace these opportunities for growth and improvement in the coming year.
Our attendance rate in 2023 stood at 79%, posing ongoing challenges since the pandemic. In 2023 we were unable to meet our attendance targets with less than 40% of our students having an attendance rate of greater than 90%. Addressing this issue remains crucial, and we are committed to delving deeper into the reasons why 21% of our students are absent on any given day.
Moving into 2024, our collective focus as a school community will centre on ensuring that every student feels known, safe, well and engaged in learning. Our priorities—Reading, Safeguarding, and student attendance—will be fortified in collaboration with our community. Strengthening these areas is essential for the future success of all our students. And our community.
It's important to acknowledge, thank and bid farewell to some members of our teaching staff—Miss Bekk Taylor, Miss Irini Alexiou, Mr. Ben Gaul, and Ms. Rachel Coxan. Your contributions have been invaluable, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
Tonight, we also honour Mr. Mark Regel, a dedicated teacher at Wynyard High School for an impressive 32 years. Mr. Regel, your commitment, and passion for teaching Mathematics and Science have left an indelible mark on our school community, and on behalf of everyone here, I extend our warmest wishes as you embark on a well-deserved retirement. We cherish the time we have left with you in the first few weeks of 2024 before you take extended leave prior to your retirement.
This week marks a significant transition for many of our Year 10 students, moving onto various pathways—employment, apprenticeships, Year 11 at WHS or Hellyer College, or other training opportunities. I commend each one of you for your leadership, contribution to student voice, and positive influence on our school culture. I strongly encourage you to pursue your TCE as part of completing Year 12, which will enhance your life opportunities as you continue your journey. All the best for the future.
Congratulations once again to all the students being recognized tonight. I wish everyone a safe and joyful Christmas break, rejuvenating for 2024.
