Assistant Principal - Pastoral Care
Term 1 has certainly been action packed and highly successful. Congratulations to our Year 7 students and the new students across the year groups who have joined our college community this year and settled in so smoothly.
Our students have had the opportunity to join in a wide range of experiences and activities that have enhanced not only their learning but also their wellbeing and sense of connectedness to Carroll College. Thank you to the staff for the work that they do 'above and beyond' to ensure opportunities are available and inquiries are answered. Thank you to the Homeroom teachers who greet and ensure the students are ready for each school day. A huge thank you to the Pastoral Team who are always available to assist our students and families, provide experiences that nurture wellbeing and increase awareness.

Our Year 11 students attended the 'Rotary Young Drivers Awareness' program on Monday 7 April. Thank you to Mrs Barling, Miss Large and Mrs Shilling who accompanied the students. Across the day the students moved through various presentations and practical demonstrations covering a range of important road safety and driving information. Thank you to our local Rotary members, police and guest speakers for organising this day. Our local roads and highway present a range of challenges for our young drivers and we hope they remember what they have learned.





Parents are invited to complete the following survey RYDA WORKSHOP - PARENT SURVEY (2025). It will help the organisers identify what parents think about their young drivers and the type of education you think will lower their risks.
Cyber safety
Recently we have received information about students who have been misusing social media eg. Snapchat and Tik Tok. All parents are encouraged to monitor what their children are creating, sending and receiving from others on social media to ensure that everything is appropriate and not in breach of any laws relating to the use of devices. If you are aware of anything that is wrong then you can contact the police and/or the esafety commissioner to get advice or make a report.
