Students, all the best with your Year 11 and 12 exams and end of year assessment, my greatest wish for you is that you understand…” – Kirsty Gebert, Assistant Principal, Innovation in Teaching and Learning, Education Systems & Inclusive Education I look forward to watching the continued growth and innovation that ABHS will showcase in the future, and hope to take the best of what I have learned at ABHS into my new role as Deputy Principal at Banksia Park International High School. The last four years have provided me with a myriad of opportunities to think about education differently, and I am honoured to be trusted with leading alongside the team of exemplary leaders and teachers we have at ABHS. “ It has been a privilege to be a member of the founding leadership team for Adelaide Botanic High School.
On behalf of the whole school I would like to publicly thank her for everything and wish her well as she takes on the challenges of this position. Kirsty has recently won a Deputy Principal role at Banksia Park High School and will begin that role next term. Her leadership has been significant, with much of what puts Adelaide Botanic High School at the forefront of educational excellence, attributable to her work. Kirsty Gebert has been an Assistant Principal and part of our foundation leadership team since we planned for, and opened, the school. During this part of the year schools are advertising and selecting staff for 2023, something we are currently undertaking. I would also like to acknowledge the many Year 12 teachers who are giving up time during their holiday break to run workshops for our students.Īt Adelaide Botanic High School we have been blessed to be able to attract and select some of the best teachers and leaders from around Australia. Our Year 12 teachers are there for them along with the Wellbeing and the Student Achievement and Success teams. We understand that this time of year can be stressful for those students but cannot highlight enough the importance of making good use of time, revision and reaching out for support.
We also had the opportunity to wish our Year 12 students well as they complete their final tasks and prepare for exams early next term. This tradition continues to be such a positive and enjoyable way to send students and staff off on their holidays and sets the scene for the new term. This term’s final assembly was no exception as we celebrated student achievement and positive recognitions, said “thank you” for contributions made, showcased amazing role models and saw the positive impact of student voice and leadership on school life. Our end of term assemblies are just one of our important traditions with an unashamed focus on celebration and fun. Tradition contributes a sense of belonging, reminding us that we are part of a history that defines and shapes who we are today and who we are likely to become. Traditions are what you can rely on or hold on to when so many things around us are changing. Traditions are a very significant part of Adelaide Botanic High School and represent a critical aspect of our culture despite our school’s young age.
