08.01.2022 Dear parents/carers of Huonville High School Please find attached an invitation for you to join the Huonville High School Senior Staff team and myself as we look to create a futures statement for the school that reflects the needs and aspirations of the whole Huon Valley community. As the key provider for Huon students in our area, Huonville High School offers a breadth and standard of programs that is reflective of a school that is big enough to make a difference, but small ...enough to know each and every one of our students and their needs, socially and emotionally as well as educationally. As we move into the future, it is through engaging with our community and understanding your expectations of the school that will enhance our ability to ensure every learner leaves as best prepared for their next steps as possible, whether that be on-going education or the workforce. Please join us on this journey, delayed due to the current global pandemic, but leaving us now with even more urgency to have a clearly defined purpose for how and why our school conducts business in preparing your children for an uncertain world. Yours sincerely, Geoff Williamson
