Principal's Update

Excellent start to the Term...

I am delighted to share my reflections on my first week at our outstanding school. It has been incredibly inspiring to witness the enthusiasm, dedication, and talent that flows through our community. 

From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine sense of belonging. The positive culture and the strong sense of connection has made me feel as though I have been part of this community for many years already.

The energy and passion of our students is clear, and the staff are proud of all our students' successes. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or through various co curricular activities, our students consistently demonstrate excellence and a commitment to their personal growth and to Cashmere High School’s collective success. As we approach our upcoming prize-giving ceremonies, I look forward to acknowledging and celebrating these achievements. 

To our students, remember that every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. To our parents and caregivers, your constant support is invaluable, and I thank you for your partnership. To our staff, your expertise, dedication, and passion are the foundation of our school’s success, and we are grateful for your hard work.
