PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
This is the final edition of our newsletter for 2014.
Our students have had another very successful year and we have great expectations for our Year 12 WACE results. The outstanding achievements are the result of a community which works together for our students, consequently thanks must go to staff, parents and students. Our 2014 School Board has also made a huge contribution throughout the year and we are grateful for their input and oversight.
We look forward to another first rate year in 2015 and wish all members of the Willetton educational community a safe and happy holiday break.

Forms are available from the front office, School Board office, and bookshop or may be downloaded from the school website, under the School Board tab.
We also have a large range of Year 11 and Year 12 syllabus textbooks and study guides which make excellent resource material at greatly discounted prices.

Current Year 10 and Year 11 students are invited to visit the second hand bookshop to purchase your Year 11 and Year 12 booklist requirements for 2015. Many of the textbooks are half to two thirds the price of new textbooks.
