Watson, Doug.jpg

My name is Doug Watson and I am substantively the Principal of Pine Rivers State High School and will be acting Principal in Mrs Free's absence. 

Mrs Free's outstanding leadership was recognised with her appointment as a Principal Coach in the Far North Queensland Region for the first six months of this year.

With 10 years' experience as a Principal, we should have a great transition and start to the year and I am looking forward to coming back to Caboolture as I really did enjoy my time here last time with staff, students, parents and the community. Some of you may remember that towards the end of 2017 and the begin of 2018 that I was the Principal while Mr Box took some well-deserved leave.
​​​

The end of 2023 saw another great year of celebrations for the Cab High with 98% of students obtaining a Queensland Certificate of Education or Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement, with a number of students also completing school-based traineeships and apprenticeships and 60% of students obtaining at least one nationally based certificate at a Certificate II or higher.

2024 Focus

Let's keep it simple, for the first half of 2024 I will be focusing on ensuring we have the staff, facilities and resource necessary to ensure our students are set up for success. 

Reviewing our 2025 senior opinions for next year's Year 11 students, so that we can act now in preparation for next year. 

Concentrate on the learning and behaviour culture, junior secondary outcomes and celebrate the success of a great school and community. 

Communication is key to achieving this and the partnership between parents and the school is critical. 

Please feel free to reach out to me via the School Principal email - principal@cabooltureshs.eq.edu.au​

Cheers Doug Watson
