Welcome back everyone! I hope you had the chance to enjoy some time with your families and are feeling recharged for term 3.

Support Staff Week
Week 5 is Support Staff Week, our chance to recognise the dedicated team who work tirelessly behind the scenes and alongside staff and students to help our school run smoothly.

From classroom support, administration and IT, to the library, grounds and student wellbeing, our support staff play a vital role in creating the high-quality learning environment our students deserve. Their efforts often go unseen, but they are deeply valued.

We acknowledge and appreciate: Anna Burr, Ashlea James, Brendan Rowe, Carli Burnnard, Charlie Cornelius, Chloe Rudd, Dani Coombs, Daniel Giles, Evan McAllister, Jo Catalano, Karen Steed, Karina Lambert, Kerrie Pyers, Kyla Wade, Leanne Weigall, Mari Mouton, Maria Dowzard, Nikki Foster, Samuel Taylor, Sasha Morgan, Sharen Vasey, Sonja Modlinski, Stacey Lambert, Suman Kaur, Tegan Smith, Toby Johnson, Tom Gregurec, Travis Coombs, and Uncle Barney.

On behalf of the entire Renmark High School community, thank you for everything you do.

Subject Selections for 2026
Following our Subject Information and Planning Night last night, subject selection interviews for years 9, 10 and 11 begin next week.

These interviews are an important opportunity for students to make informed decisions about their learning pathway. We strongly encourage parents and caregivers to attend and support their child through this process. It’s also a valuable moment to connect with staff and ensure choices align with student goals.

Subject selections guide our planning for 2026, including staffing and timetabling. Students are more likely to secure their preferred subjects when they engage thoughtfully with this process and submit choices on time. If necessary, we will use reserve preferences so list them in preferred order.

Parent Survey – Have Your Say
The Department for Education’s annual parent survey is now open and provides valuable insights into how families engage with their child’s learning. Invitations have been emailed directly to parents and caregivers from the department. We encourage all parents and caregivers to complete the survey, whether you’d like to suggest improvements or highlight the things you value most about our school. Your feedback helps us recognise what matters most to families and ensures we continue doing the things you value and appreciate.

Your input supports our commitment to Respect, Connect, and Achieve—helping us reflect on our strengths and shape meaningful improvements.

2025 NAPLAN Results
NAPLAN results for year 7 and year 9 students are being sent home. If you would like support in understanding your child’s results or what they mean for their learning progress, please don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to help.
