**About Us**:
Safety, respect and learning are the key underpinnings of the quality education on offer at Centenary Heights State High School.
When students, parents and staff show respect for themselves and each other in the way in which daily business is done then learning will take place within a safe and supportive environment. That is the focus of my work as principal here.
It is impossible to divorce who you are from what you do, they are inextricably linked. Johann Von Goethe is quoted as saying: 'The way you see people is the way you treat them - and the way you treat them is what they become.
Given we, as teachers, are charged with the role of second parent, you need to know this is what we value.

Attend to/or arrange repairs and maintenance within the school, including those which relate to furniture and equipment; locks and windows; swimming pools (e.g. maintaining proper water quality, testing water, keeping records of tests, adjusting/adding chemicals as consistent with occupational, health and safety (WHS) guidelines and procedures); and school facilities.
Provide basic maintenance of equipment specific to schools with students with disabilities.
Communicate and discuss with Principal/Business Manager or nominated delegate on matters regarding periodic maintenance of facilities.
