23.01.2022 From our Stymie Team These words from Aristotle 1,698 years after he said them, still speak the truth.

22.01.2022 With the returning of more of our staff tomorrow we will no longer be running a supervision model for year 11 and 12 classes and there will be a return to face to face teaching for year 11 and 12 students. There is still a significant number of staff away so we will need to combine and merge classes where teachers are not present. There are also a large number of students that are not in attendance so the focus for the remainder of this term will be on consolidating work alr...eady taught. Years 7 10 will continue with face to face teaching however there are still similar issues with teachers being absent so there will be multiple merged classes. Exams have been postponed for the remainder of the term and absences will not count against students in regard to their eligibility to attend school activities and functions. Thank you for your support and understanding. David Romagnolo See more

Open to all Year 12 students, the Scheme is designed to assist capable students to access entry to CQUniversity, it in no way provides relaxation of the quality and academic standards that students must meet to successfully complete their degree."
