This year promises to be another exciting one for the Port Lincoln High School, as we look to consolidate on our strengths and strive for continuous improvement. Some of our major initiatives and programs for 2009 include the following...

Key Foci
We have established a key learning focus on improving the literacy and numeracy levels of our students. In order to achieve this it is our intention to develop a whole school strategic plan. This plan will include increasing the number of teachers trained in DECS' Literacy and Learning and Accelerated Literacy programs.

We are also looking to highlight the key value of respect in 2009. This will be achieved by developing year level programs that will assist our students to become more respectful of themselves, their friends, their teachers and members of the community.

Middle School Building
This multi-million dollar redevelopment is due to open at the commencement of Term 2. The Centre will house a variety of facilities including a Multimedia Room, Special Education, Student Support and Middle School classrooms. Each space will be equipped with high-end information technologies to further support the development of new and exciting curricula.

Support Centre
We have established a new Support Centre on our campus to cater for a small cohort of students who up until now have been chronic non-attendees. Working from the philosophy that some learning is better than no learning, we are aiming to re-engage each student through flexible planning and practice with mainstream schooling. We hope to assist them to value school as a place where they can succeed and enjoy the experience.

S.A.A.S.T.A.
Nineteen of our indigenous students have been selected to participate in the South Australian Aboriginal Sports Academy program. These students will undertake their S.A.C.E. using an especially designed sports-based curriculum. This is a successful program in other schools and we are excited about the potential of this course to increase the number of our indigenous students completing their S.A.C.E.

I am personally looking forward to the next five years working towards providing a learning environment where students and teachers work together in respectful ways, and where parents trust and value the work that our teachers produce.
