As we come to the end of Term 2, I would like to take the chance to thank you all for your support of the school, especially in recent times. Katherine High finds itself at the start of a bright new journey and I am pleased to announce that I will be continuing as your Principal in a permanent capacity. Since coming to Katherine High I have learnt many things, not least that we have very capable students who deserve the best education possible. We also have some fantastic teachers and administrators who contribute to making this school what it is. We also know we have a lot work to do. Work that cannot happen without your support. I have told all students and staff that my aim is to make Katherine High School the best school in the Northern Territory. To do that we must have High Expectations. That means high expectations for our learners and of our staff. Together we can achieve great things but we must demand success for everyone.![]()

Earlier in the term I wrote to outlining my approach to negative behaviours impacting our school. I am pleased to say that we have been successful in working towards creating a calm campus which reflects the social cohesion required to establish an orderly learning environment. Again, we still have work to do. Every student has the right to learn in a safe and orderly environment, our work in the coming months will continue to focus on creating this type of environment for all. We will also welcome Tess Fondacaro to the executive leadership team as Assistant Principal, Behaviour and Inclusion. Tess will commence in the position on day 1 Term 3.![]()

I will be sending parents/guardians a letter to advise them about the changes to the school timetable. As a team we have been working hard to realign the school’s resources in a way that ensures we can staff the school. I can tell you today that all classes will start next term with staff in place. Your child may have a change in teacher for next term for some of their subjects, I understand that change has been a constant here at KHS but I am committed to building a stable staff that are committed to our students. That’s why we will continue to recruit high quality teachers to our school to make sure that the teaching team at KHS can meet the learning needs of all students.![]()

We look forward to a dynamic and positive semester two and I look forward to partnering with you all as we begin our work towards becoming the best.![]()
Kind Regards, ![]()

Last week students from the Katherine Clontarf Academy attended the Top End Cup footy carnival. It was great to see so many staff and students watching the games at school and at Nitmiluk Oval. The Karraks had a great run winning 4 out of their 5 games and just fell short losing by 2 points in the first final.
