Acting Dean of Waterford | Mr Luke Gribble

Thank you to the many parents who attended the Year 10 Information Night last Thursday. I hope you gained a good insight into the aims of Waterford Pace and how the year has started for your son. There was also an opportunity to hear from your son’s Mentor about the ‘Atmosphere of Care’ provided here at Waterford Place. I would particularly like to thank the Waterford teaching staff for their input, members of the TLG who assisted with the social function and Mrs Julie Ferris for logistics on the night.

Further connection with your son’s Mentor will have been made at yesterday’s Parent-Mentor meetings. This partnership with parents in guiding and supporting your sons is crucial. If there are any concerns about your son’s start at Waterford Place or information that could assist staff, please be in contact early.

The numbers at before-school tutoring have been steadily increasing and the tone in the classrooms has been very positive over the first three weeks. By now the boys should be well settled into the Waterford Place routine.

Student Services at Waterford is open from 7.30am to 4pm. Just a reminder that the phone number at Waterford Place is 3214 5400. Email waterfordplace@terrace.qld.edu.au. Mrs Julie Ferris and Mrs Mary-Jude Hannagan will be able to assist you with your enquiries.
