Principal's Report

3 May 2013

Throughout 2012, Fitzroy High School took part in a School Review as part of the accountability processes of the Department of Education.

The review addressed the school’s performance in the three student outcome areas of student learning; student engagement and wellbeing; and student pathways and transitions. Consideration was given to the outcomes the school wanted to achieve as stated in its Strategic Plan 2009-2012, the outcomes the school actually achieved, the contributing factors for its success, resourcing allocation and what future actions would be desirable.

Athletics Day take 2!!

Neil Mclean yet again chose another day with great weather to bring all of the Fitzroy students to enjoy. This cold and wet weather was not enough to shake the spirits of the Blue Team and some students of the other teams. Want-to-be DJ, Matt T brought the spirits up of the other teams with his inspirational music. This was little help for Linda and Neil’s Red Team. Although Red team couldn’t keep up with the competition they did try to make it up with spirit. This still didn’t give them the win over Blue Team. Most students enjoyed the day. If they weren’t participating they were cheering for their teams.

For the year 12s that went they gave it their all. Dressing up in their true colours even if this meant being stared at on the tram. But this doesn’t matter as Blue Team dominated the day! With Cameron flying through in the mixed relay, red team couldn’t keep up and Blue team sealed the win! One day Red Team will win a medal… but not this year!

Learn About Our Teams

A team structure forms the basis of the Fitzroy High School model.

Groups of students and teachers are allocated to teams, allowing all members of the team to get to know each other well. Students stay in the same team for Years 7 and 8, before moving to new teams in Years 9 through to 12.

Most of our students are off to Melbourne University

Our 2012 Year 12 students have received their first and second round tertiary offers. Our former students continue the tradition of transitioning to a diverse range of tertiary courses. However, this year 24% of our students have been offered a place at The University of Melbourne, our largest group in the history of the school. Most of these students are going into the Arts and Science courses, where the clearly-in ATAR rose to above 91 for both courses. We also have our first student being made an offer for Environments, so history continues to be made.
