Message from the Principal

We made it through testing week!


We have one quarter of school left. Lets finish this school year off strong. We have a lot of end of the year events coming up


We will continue with hall sweeps the remainder of the school year. We are seeing a reduction of tradies because of these sweeps.


As the end of the year approaches and the weather turns nice we need to make sure our students are in classrooms learning from the great JGHS staff.


Students please make sure to check your school email regularly.


Attention: Please do not drop off students in the bus parking lot or drive across sidewalks these actions cause an extreme safety issue. Thank you
