Principal’s Report

Dear Parents and Carers,

Term three is halfway through, there is a hint of the sun shining, and for now Spring appears to be just around the corner. Our students have definitely been shining as they participate in many extra-curricular activities across the school.

Our School production was last week. Held in Elwood at the Phoenix Theatre, a cast and crew of experienced and novice thespians performed ‘The Little Mermaid’. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of Sally Edwards, Caroline Hardy, and Kylie Wagenvoort (vocal teacher) who have inspired, motivated, guided, and coordinated the students involved. We sold more tickets than ever before and the audience was not disappointed.

The house competitions are well and truly in action. This fortnight we have the House Athletics, and the finals of House Debating. Students have shown a keen interest in the new debating competition as speakers, researchers, and audience members. It has been pleasing to see the appetite for expansion in the house activities. Thank you to Isobel Hudson and other staff, who have organised this competition. I know many students will now be inspired to participate in the Debating Association of Victoria’s interschool competition. House Athletics is next week at Duncan McKinnon track in Carnegie. Buses will transport our students from Auburn High School to the track, and then the games will begin. I really enjoy watching the performances of the students, and the team spirit and costumes all add to the energy of the day. Students winning the events will progress to the Division athletics carnival. Good luck to all.

Currently we are in the mid-term cycle of Learning Behaviour reports and Parent Student Teacher conferences. As most parents would know students are provided with feedback on how they display: Agency in Learning, Completing required work, Working productively in class, Seeking assistance when necessary, Working in a team, and Respecting the rights of others to learn. Student are given a score of 2, 4, 6 (expected), 8 or 10. Educational research shows that behaviours drive performance, and that feedback on process, routines, structures and actions has a significant impact on learning outcomes and student engagement. Self-reporting of grades and a student’s awareness of their levels is also a developmental phase we are emphasising here. Education is a lifelong process and I demand the same learning behaviours in my staff. Please have open conversations with your children to reinforce the real-world applications of these skills and behaviours. Parent Student Teacher conferences will have been held by the time this newsletter is published. Currently there are over 2750 appointments booked.  

Last week parents/carers received an email regarding the 2025 Parent/Carer Opinion Survey. Each household received a link to the state-wide survey and I encourage you to complete it. Responses from the Auburn High community help system wide programs and provide invaluable insights for our school. The survey closes September 19th. Last year we had a disappointing response to the survey with only 9% of parents submitting. This meant that the data set was not enough to form substantive judgements. I encourage you to be involved in this annual fact-finding process.

Finally, with an eye on 2026, the school is presently processing enrolments. Our enrolments are controlled by an Enrolment Management Policy (DE), except for our French Specialist Programs where students are coming from Caulfield Junior College and Camberwell Primary School. Currently it looks like we will have around seven tutor groups at year 7 and around 110 year 12 students in 2026. This will likely mean that the total student numbers will remain consistent around the 850 total.

Until next time,

Kind regards,

Ross Pritchard

Welcoming our 2026 Year 7s

Our transition process for incoming students is well underway. This term, we welcomed families who have sought enrolment at AHS and wanted to participate in the application process for our SEAL program or French Specialism Programs. This selection process is due to be completed this week. We have been so impressed with the skill and character displayed by our aspirational students. I look forward to welcoming our 2026 Year 7 students and families at our ‘Getting Started at AHS Information Evening’ on Tuesday 16th September, 6:00pm.

High Expectations in the Junior School

“Just as an athlete prepares with the right equipment, training and rest before competing, students achieve their best when they come to class well-prepared and ready to learn.”

At AHS, we know that success is built on strong foundations. By establishing these effective habits, our students position themselves for success both in learning and in life. 

Setting up for a successful day of learning starts well before the day begins. Some students have established strong habits in the areas suggested below and others may have an area or two to focus on. Picking one to improve can have a significant impact on building helpful routines, we encourage you to review the suggestions below and have a conversation with your child about how they can build the necessary habits that enable them to be most successful:

  • When students have a good night’s sleep, a nutritious breakfast and staying hydrated provides the brain with the energy needed for clear thinking.
  • When students are on time for class, prepared with learning materials, in uniform and with phones stored in lockers they take the necessary steps to be ready to learn.
  • When students face challenges in the classroom and choose to take a deep breath and ask for help, their persistence build resilience and confidence.
  • When students reach out to their Tutor Group Teacher or our Wellbeing Team for support with challenges outside of school, they are supported to manage these challenges. 

2026 Year 8>9 & 9>10 Course Selection

Over the past fortnight, Year 8 and 9 students have been engaged in subject selections and course selection interviews. The level of thought and effort students demonstrated during this process has been impressive. Many are excited about the diverse, cross-curricular opportunities available in Years 9 and 10 that were introduced to students as part of our Reimagining Curriculum Project.

Students have shown aspiration and ambition through their choices, with some selecting to accelerate into VCE, others opting to study a language, and many extending themselves through advanced numeracy pathways. Many have displayed creativity and courage to select subjects that may be new or outside what they have studied previously. 

Learning Behaviour Reports also closed last week. For some students, these reports outlined goals for growth in areas such as attendance, learning behaviours and academic achievement, all integral foundations to being accepted into aspirational subject options. Where these goals have been met, families can expect further communication from the Year 9 & 10 Curriculum Team regarding re-counselling appointments.

Student Attitudes to School Survey – Focus Groups

Each year, students across Victoria complete the Attitudes to School Survey (AtoSS) which provides valuable insights into their experiences of learning, wellbeing and connectedness at school. At AHS, we believe authentic engagement occurs when students are fully involved cognitively, emotionally and socially in both their learning and school community.

To build on these insights, our Year Level Leaders facilitated focus groups with students to unpack the survey results. During these sessions, students:

  • Reflected on how they have embodied their year level statements as a community,
  • Celebrated areas of strength highlighted in the survey, including learning, social interactions and school connectedness and 
  • Engaged in open conversation about areas for further growth.

The feedback from each focus group is invaluable. It not only informs improvements at each year level but helps shape whole-school strategic planning and future directions. Exciting initiatives that have been implemented in response to previous years feedback are below:

I look forward to sharing 2026 actions with you shortly!

Year Level Community Day Out – A New AHS Junior School End of Year Tradition

Our students have worked incredibly hard this year: building friendships, showing resilience, and striving for academic growth. To celebrate these achievements, we are excited to introduce a new Junior School tradition: Year Level Community Day Out to finish the year with energy, fun and connection!

This new initiative was inspired by an outstanding display of student leadership, with Tom B from 7G presenting the idea to the Principal Class Team. His proposal highlighted the importance of celebrating together as a community, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to life. I was so impressed to see an authentic display of student voice and agency come to light. 

Each year level will come together for a special end-of-year excursion, providing one final opportunity to connect with peers, enjoy shared experiences, and celebrate everything that has been accomplished in 2025.

Thursday 11th December

Friday 12th December

  • Year 9 Cohort will spend the day at Luna Park

Details of the excursions, including venues and arrangements, are now available on Compass. If you have any questions, please reach out to the relevant Year Level Team.

Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences and Learning Behaviours

This week our staff have connected with families through 2754 Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences. These conferences enable informative conversations about each child’s progress in Semester 2.

Parent and carer engagement is part of our School Strategic Plan with the aim to move towards moral support, guidance, and a positive attitude towards learning at home. With our incredible number of bookings for this cycle we have had just as many opportunities to celebrate success and engage with our parents and carers in this final stretch of Semester 2. We know that this will enable our students to work towards their goals in classes before Headstart next term.

I thank families for your positive feedback to our staff about your child’s teaching and learning experience at Auburn this week. We appreciate your engagement with our Learning Behaviours, CAT/SAC feedback on Compass and other learning supports, all of which help to strengthen the partnership we have with you all.

A reminder to our families that your child’s Tutor Group Teacher is your first point of contact for your child at Auburn. As part of their role they will monitor student attendance, uniform and distribute key whole school and year level information during Tutor Group each morning.

This week students in Year 9 and Year 10 have engaged with their Learning Behaviour reports in their Education for Life (E4L) classes. School-wide we have seen an average attendance of 90.89% at the end of Week 5, and an average Learning Behaviour of 6.63.  This active reflection in E4L encourages our students to be autonomous agents for their learning as they embed their own data into their My Learning Growth templates for all subjects. Students then set an attendance goal, an academic goal and an engagement goal, ensuring they refer to all aspects of their schooling that enable success. We also encourage our students to reflect on the subjects that may need additional attention, such as Tutor Group attendance in the mornings supported by a sleep routine at home, or a specific Learning Behaviour in one of their subjects that is impacting their overall average.

You can see the averages for each of our six Learning Behaviours here as well as a visual representation below:

  • Completes required work: 6.51
  • Respects the rights of others to learn: 6.86
  • Seeks assistance when necessary: 6.54
  • Works in a team: 6.65
  • Agency in learning: 6.71
  • Works productively: 6.53

Congratulations to the students who have demonstrated growth in the Learning Behaviours since Term 2. This is a testament to your commitment to your program at Auburn and the goals you have set for yourself.

Student Attitudes to School Survey

This term we have started analysing our 2025 Student Attitudes to School Survey data to ensure that we continue to respond to the needs of our student communities. We have seen strong endorsement from our students in the value they place on the role their teachers play in setting high expectations for them to do their best in class, including helping them to self-regulate to pay attention, and listen to class instruction and delivery of new knowledge. Our students have shared that they always try to attend school and want to learn new things, reinforced by consistent reporting that they believe that there is a teacher or another adult at Auburn who believes they can be successful. This foundational data reinforces the high expectations we place on all members of our community to ensure that our teaching and learning programs, as well as our wider community programs foster engagement for all our students to thrive. This data will continue to be analysed through focus groups with students, and within our teaching teams so that we maintain what is working for our students and stretch our goals for 2026.


Getting ready for exams

This term our Senior teaching teams have been meeting to review their student cohort data. This has enabled us to reflect on the strengths from Semester 1 and identify opportunities where we can support our students in this final phase of their Unit 4 and Year 2 courses, as well as setting them up for a successful exam revision period.

This week in their study period, Year 11 & Year 12 students were presented with a range of resources to support them in planning for their revision periods in the final part of Term 3, as well their holidays and early Term 4 if they are accelerating in a Unit 3 & 4 subject.

In this template students included consideration of:

  • the date(s) of their upcoming trial examination in the second week of the September holidays
  • their IB/VCAA examination date in Term 4
  • remaining SAC dates and Snapshot tasks
  • their external commitments such as family events, socialising sport, and work

By forward planning, our students can anticipate busier weeks and ensure that they are proactive in allocating time for all their subjects. This session has been strategically placed this week, in line with our Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences to support students to embed the feedback they receive from their subject teachers into their individual plans. Students have been encouraged to finalise their plans, along with necessary supports and resources before the end of Term 3. This will enable them to have a balanced first week of the holidays before their compulsory trial examinations in the second week of the holidays. Further resources will be made available on Compass.

Save the date!

Our Year 12 Valedictory events will occur on Monday 20th October. I thank the Year 12 team who are finalising details for our events across the day. We look forward to celebrating with Year 12 families next term.

This will be my final newsletter article for the term as I will be on long service leave for the final three weeks of Term 3. Michael Buckingham, our Leading Teacher for Agency in Learning will stepping in as the Acting Assistant Principal for Senior School and Teaching & Learning for Week 7 – 9. I look forward to returning in Term 4 and hearing about all the positive celebrations from the end of Term 3, including the finalisation of our Year 12 programs.

Professional Learning Day

Staff Professional Learning Day: Creating the Conditions for Learning

In Week 4, our staff came together for a highly impactful professional learning day, “Creating the Conditions for Learning.” The focus was on how positive relationships, consistent classroom expectations, and fostering student self-regulation and self-efficacy are essential foundations for both learning and wellbeing. This aligns closely with FISO 2.0 Learning & Wellbeing, supporting our goal to enhance wellbeing, belonging, and connectedness for every student.

The day was grounded in restorative practice and explored strategies to increase student engagement, reflecting the Department of Education’s focus on positive classroom management strategies. Staff also engaged with using evidence-based frameworks to strengthen inclusive learning environments and develop tailored recommendations to meet the individual needs of students.

An effective wellbeing plan is essential for fostering a supportive and inclusive school environment. It must be responsive to the diverse needs of all students, recognising their individual strengths, challenges, and circumstances. By providing tailored strategies and supports, a comprehensive wellbeing plan ensures that every student feels valued, connected, and empowered to engage fully in their learning and personal development. This work is well underway at AHS and we look forward to sharing this with you as we move into 2026. 

The second part of the day focused on bringing the Auburn High School Pillars of Wellbeing to life. Just as our subject areas explicitly teach skills and knowledge, it is equally important to teach students the skills needed to develop positive wellbeing. The AHS Pillars of Wellbeing provide a student-friendly framework to facilitate meaningful conversations, reinforce positive behaviours, and support the holistic development of our students. During the afternoon session, staff focused on creating opportunities for students to set effective goals, build resilience, and make meaningful connections between the pillars of wellbeing and their subject learning.

Learning French at AHS

Year 7 French Binational Students Bring Jules Verne to Life

Our Year 7 French Binational students have embarked on an exciting literary adventure, bringing the classic novel Le tour du monde en 80 jours (Around the World in 80 Days) by Jules Verne to life through collaborative theatre.

Working in small groups, students selected scenes from Verne’s beloved 1873 adventure novel and simplified the text to make it more accessible for their level. They then adapted these scenes for performance, focusing on bringing the characters and story to life through their acting skills.

The performances demonstrated not only the students’ confidence in French but also their ability to work collaboratively and think creatively about literature.

This innovative approach to language learning combines literature, performance, and teamwork – perfectly embodying the collaborative spirit of our French Binational program.

Year 7 French Partial Immersion Students Launch Third Edition of La Gazette des 7!

Our talented Year 7 French Partial Immersion students have once again demonstrated their journalistic flair with the release of the third edition of La Gazette des 7! This student-produced French newspaper continues to showcase the impressive language skills and creativity of our young francophone reporters.

This latest edition features a particularly exciting highlight – an exclusive interview with our school principal, Mr. Ross Pritchard. Mr. Pritchard graciously participated in this French-language interview, showing his support for our language programs and providing students with an authentic opportunity to practice their journalistic skills.

Félicitations to all our student journalists for another outstanding edition of La Gazette des 7!

Year 12 VCE French Students Prepare for Oral Examination

Our Year 12 VCE French students are in the final stages of preparation for their French oral examination, scheduled for 17 October. This important assessment represents the culmination of their years of French language study and marks a significant milestone in their VCE journey.

As part of their examination preparation, students have been researching and preparing presentations on a francophone personality of their choice. This component of the oral exam allows students to demonstrate their knowledge of French-speaking cultures while showcasing their ability to discuss complex topics in French.

Bonne chance to all our Year 12 VCE French students for their upcoming oral examination!

Year 12 IB French Students Complete Oral Internal Assessment

Our Year 12 IB French students have successfully completed their oral internal assessment, marking a significant milestone in their International Baccalaureate journey. This achievement represents months of dedicated preparation and demonstrates their advanced proficiency in French language and communication.

The oral internal assessment is a crucial component of the IB French course, requiring students to demonstrate their ability to communicate effectively in French through structured oral presentations and discussions. Completing this assessment represents a major step forward as students progress toward their final IB examinations.

Félicitations to all our Year 12 IB French students on completing their oral internal assessment, and bonne chance for the upcoming final examinations in November!

Community Program – Boys to Noble

Read Time: ( words)

Boys to Noble Men Mentoring Program

On Wednesday afternoon, students who have been participating in the Boys to Noble Men Personal Development Program celebrated their graduation. The program, facilitated by Eric Agyeman (who many will remember from his presentation to all Year 7–10 students earlier this year), has supported our young men to reflect on the type of people they want to become and the contributions they can make to their community.

Across the program, students explored themes such as Redefining Masculinity; Respect, Integrity and Honour; Pop Culture Trends; Leadership, Responsibility, Vision & Goal Setting; Positive Relationships & Chivalry. Through these discussions, they were challenged to think deeply about their character, their choices, and the impact they have on others.

The graduation was a moving event. Each Year 9 and 10 student invited a staff member who had supported them on their journey. In their reflections, the boys expressed thanks, offered apologies, and acknowledged the people who continue to guide them with high expectations, encouragement and care. Their honesty and gratitude were inspiring, and it was heart-warming to see the strength of the connections between students and staff.

The program has reminded us all of the value of committing to personal growth. By taking the time to reflect, set goals and consider who they want to be as men, our students showed confidence, maturity and a genuine respect for those around them. We are proud of the way they embraced this opportunity and look forward to seeing how the lessons learned will shape their future decisions and their contribution to our community.

Welcome to Our New International Students

On Friday, 15th of August, Auburn High School proudly welcomed our newest international students with a special celebration. With 63 international students now part of our community, including 24 new arrivals this year, our school is richer and more vibrant thanks to the diverse backgrounds you bring from Cambodia, China, Ecuador, India, Mongolia, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and beyond.

The afternoon began with a highlight video showcasing some of the incredible things our international students have already achieved this year. From Lunar New Year festivities, the launch of the Peer Support Program and Cultural Day, to joining the Collingwood City Football Club, skiing competitions at Mount Buller, and work experience placements, our students continue to make us proud.

We were also honoured to have our Principal, Mr Pritchard and our Assistant Principals, Ms Price and Ms Gibson join the event to share their own stories of upbringing and warmly welcome our students into the Auburn High community. Their reflections reminded us that while we all come from different places, we are united by a shared journey of growth and connection.

Our Wellbeing Team also spoke with students about the important role they play in providing care and support. It was a great opportunity for students to learn more about who to turn to for help, whether for school challenges, personal wellbeing, or simply to feel more at home.

Looking ahead, one of the highlights on the horizon is our Year 10 Connection Camp in December, which will be another chance for our international students to build friendships and experience more of what life in Australia has to offer.

At Auburn High, every student contributes to the strength and diversity of our community. To all our international students, both new and continuing, we are so proud of you, and we can’t wait to see all the exciting things you will achieve next.

R U OK? Day – 11th September

R U OK? Day is Australia’s National Day of Action dedicated to reminding us all of the incredible power of asking a simple but life-changing question: “Are you OK?” Held on the second Thursday of September each year, this year’s event falls on Thursday, 11 September 2025

This Year’s Theme: “Ask R U OK? Any Day”

In 2025, the core message is clear and powerful: “Ask RU OK? Any Day.” While the 11th of September marks the official day, the encouragement is for every one of us, students, teachers, and families alike, to make checking in on each other a daily habit.

Why It Matters

  • Conversations Can Change Lives: Reaching out doesn’t require expert skills, just the willingness to listen and care.
  • Building a Culture of Connection: The aim is to move beyond a one-day event towards embedding supportive conversations into our everyday lives.
  • Simple Steps with Deep Impact: By asking, listening, encouraging action, and following up (the four-step guide), we create safer and more connected communities.

Watch This Space!

  • Keep an eye out for engaging school-wide activities. Hint: yellow-themed day, workshops, wellbeing walls, art & crafts, and much more.
  • Look forward to murals, posters, stickers,badges, digital assets and resources with tips for starting caring conversations.
  • Have more ideas and want to get involved? Reach out to the Wellbeing Team to find out how you and your class can help bring the magic of this wonderful day to life.

Looking back: International Day of Friendship brings connection and creativity to Loneliness Awareness Week

The Wellbeing team organised activities for Loneliness Awareness week (4th-10th Aug) alongside International Friendship Day by handing out fairy bread to students as well as making friendship bracelets on Thursday. Each plate of fairy bread was to be shared with any friend and included conversation starters to encourage students to be curious, tune in and listen to their peers.

Many students had also gathered around a small bench to make friendship bracelets together, matching colours to each other’s personalities and using letters to make small messages or names.

Voices of a Generation Public Speaking Competition

Last Friday, on August 22nd, students from various schools gathered at Swinburne University to take part in a public speaking competition. The event included schools such as Strathcona, Camberwell High School, Bialik College, and Scotch College, each presenting students eager to share their ideas.

The students representing our school, were Alyssa L (year 7) and Pasquale L (year 11). The competition was divided into two divisions: the junior division (years 7 to 9), where Alyssa spoke about female stereotypes online, and the senior division (years 10 to 12), where Pasquale discussed expanding access to justice by increasing funding for Victoria Legal Aid.

The judging panel included John Pesutto, Member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly; Luke Bell, Director of Advancement at Swinburne; Sophie Torney, Mayor of the City of Boroondara; and Ian Bentley, President of Rotary Hawthorn. The judges praised the high quality of the speeches from all the candidates. The experience was eye-opening, hearing from some of the best leaders in our community, and we enjoyed the event greatly.

Korowa Student Leadership Conference

Last Thursday, our school captains, Sophia and Prateek as well as Xavier (year 12), attended a Student Leadership Conference at Korowa Anglican Girls’ School. It was a completely student-run initiative put together by the Korowa Girls’ Student Leadership team. There were approximately 70 students participated from local schools, including their school captains and students who are not part of their leadership teams.

After a couple of ice breakers namely, “bang”, the students discussed and compared leadership projects from their respective schools on how to build more student engagement in house activities.

The second hour was spent in a fruitful debate over topics such as single vs co-education schools and the value of school-issued badges.

Overall, the conference inspired ideas that Sophia and Prateek will work on implementing during this last semester of 2025.
