Dear STACS Secondary School Families,
Welcome to our new families and to our current families thank you for your support and partnership throughout 2022. I look forward to this ongoing.
As you enter into this holiday season, I hope you and your children can take a break from the routines of the school year to be rejuvenated. I encourage students to rest from the demands of social media and screens for a time to have a break, check safety settings, renew passwords or phrases etc. Please review this site for more information: https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents
