Save the date! The highly anticipated 2023 Parent Information Evening is just around the corner at Burnie High School. Join us on Wednesday, June 14, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm for an enlightening experience as part of our Grade 6-7 transition program.

The evening is all about giving you the inside scoop on why enrolling at Burnie High School is a fantastic choice for the 2024 school year. I will start the evening with a warm welcome, followed by an introduction to our 2024 Grade Support Leaders Mr Ben Lohrey and Ms Maree Welsh. You will then take a guided tour of our school, explore sample learning activities, and meet the dedicated teachers who cover the wide range of subjects that we have on offer.

So, if you are the parent/carer of a Grade 6 student mark your calendar and come join us on Wednesday, June 14, for an informative evening that will shed light on the wonders of Burnie High School. We cannot wait to welcome you!

External School Review Monday 5 June to Wednesday 7 June

The Department for Education, Children and Young People regularly reviews all Tasmanian Government Schools, including Burnie High School. The primary objective of a review is to provide schools with quality and independent feedback, enabling them to continually improve the learning outcomes for students.

An External School Review is a special visit by a panel of experienced educators, who will help us make our school even better for our students. During the review, they will talk to our teachers, students, families, and the community to understand how we can improve. They will look at our school’s information and ask questions to learn more.

After the review, they will give us a report with suggestions on how we can make our school even more awesome for everyone. I will be sharing this information with our teachers and the community to guide our future plans.

Your thoughts and ideas are important to us. If you have any questions or want to know more about the review, please let me know. We are excited to make Burnie High School the best it can be for all our students.
