From the Principal We are already more than half way through term one and
our school continues to be a school that sets high standards
in all facets of every child’s education. Last Friday saw us hold the Induction
Assembly for our 2018 Student Leaders. The Student Leadership Council
members were presented with their blazers and they are now wearing
them with pride around the school.
Their first fundraising event was held today with the World’s Greatest
Shave and we will announce how much money was raised in the next
newsletter. I am very excited at the potential of this group of outstanding
students and look forward to seeing them continue to develop their
leadership skills and make positive changes within our school as they
actively represent the peers who elected them.

PRINCIPAL Mr Benjamin Frerk
INTRODUCING OUR
PATHWAY PLANNER I am a Youth Mentor at National
Joblink where I provide intensive, pre-employment support to
improve the work readiness of
young people aged 15-21 years and help them
into work or education. I have worked in the
Employment Services sector for over 10 years
and I have extensive experience in assisting
people with resume and cover letter writing, job
applications, pathway planning and upskilling
through further education to improve
employment prospects.
I am attending Exeter High weekly to meet with
year 10 students to offer support and guidance
with their pathway planning. I will be supporting
the students throughout the year as they plan
their college education and career choices. I will
be assisting with but not limited to resume and
cover letter writing, career and current labour
market advice and conducting L1 learners tests at
the school. I am happy to help with any requests
that the students may have and I look forward to
working with them throughout the year.
Suzanne Johnston
This year, we also have Student Advisors and they are
already displaying outstanding leadership qualities
working with our Grade 7 students as they settle into
their first term at Exeter High. These students will
also attend the Grade 7 camp in the first week of
term two to assist our teachers with the activities
that students participate in during the camp.
Attendance is such an important aspect of every
student’s learning and we will be introducing a new
initiative where we contact parents through a school
postcard when a student has been absent for an
extended period of time. The purpose of this is to
offer any assistance possible to try to increase the
attendance of any student who has missed a large
percentage of days.
We held our annual swimming and diving carnival last
week at the Launceston Aquatic Centre and an
incredible 17 swimming records were broken during
the day. Once again, the feedback in relation to our
students’ behaviour that we received from teachers,
pool staff and members of the public was
overwhelmingly positive. We are certainly a school
that represents itself to such high standards whenever
we are out in the community and this is another
aspect that we should all be immensely proud of.
