Annual Report

Fintona’s Annual Report provides an overview of the School’s operations in the prior year, including student learning outcomes and attendance, community satisfaction and financial information.

2023 Annual Report

In a recent brainstorming exercise, Senior Campus students were asked to write down words that described and defined their experience of being a Fintona student. They offered a wide vocabulary which included, but is not limited to: Understanding, supportive, community, teamwork, strength, empathy, encouragement, acceptance, friendship, safety, belonging, and respect.

2022 Annual Report

Usual, typical, and expected are words used to define ‘normal’. These are not words that evoke excitement. However, all things are relative, and having experienced a school year in 2022 that was significantly more predictable, and steadier compared to prior years, this provided a sense of ‘normal’ which was most welcome.
