PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
Show holiday & Athletics Carnival
Week 8 (Monday 9 June – Friday 13 June) will be a busy and exciting week at North Rockhampton State High School. On Thursday 12 June, all students will enjoy a public holiday for the Rockhampton Regional Agricultural Show. The following day, Friday 13 June, we look forward to welcoming all students to participate in our annual Interhouse Athletics Carnival. This event is a wonderful opportunity for students to represent their house with pride and for our community to come together in support of student participation and school spirit. We strongly encourage all families to support their students’ involvement and attendance.
Report Cards & Term 3 Assessment Schedule
At the end of this term the school will issue report cards to all students. These will be emailed to the first parent/carer contact listed in our school system. Should you have any questions about your child’s report card, please do not hesitate to contact the school office for assistance.
Additionally, Term 3 Assessment Schedules will be distributed alongside the report cards to assist students and families with forward planning, ensuring students can effectively manage their time across drafts, assessment due dates, and examinations.
School attendance
As we near the end of term, I would like to reiterate the importance of consistent school attendance. Teachers are beginning to introduce new units of work in preparation for Term 3 learning and assessment. Every day of learning counts, and your child’s attendance is essential to their academic progress. If your child is experiencing challenges with attendance, we encourage you to contact their Year Level Coordinator or relevant Head of Department (Junior, Middle or Senior School) for support.
Tuckshop Refurbishment
We are pleased to announce that refurbishments to the school tuckshop are now underway. Our students have shown commendable resilience and adaptability in adjusting to the temporary tuckshop service located at the Trade Training Centre café space. I would also like to thank our Hospitality students and staff for their cooperation and professionalism in sharing their kitchen and café space in the PAC during this period. We are grateful to our tuckshop staff for their ongoing commitment to providing quality food services under changing conditions.
Uniform Shop
During the tuckshop renovations, the Uniform Shop will now operate on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:00am to 9:00am, remaining at its usual location. We encourage families to visit during these times and take advantage of any winter uniform specials.
A reminder to all families that, as of 2026, our uniform policy will be updated to allow only maroon jumpers and tracksuit pants. Grey items will no longer be permitted under the updated policy.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to support every student’s success. Please don’t hesitate to contact the school should you require further information or support.
