Dear Parents and Carers,
As we near the mid-point of Term 2, I would like to extend my thanks to all families for your continued support of our students and staff during what has been a busy and productive time across the College.
Student Absences and Early Exits – A Reminder
A reminder to all families of the importance of providing a written note for any planned student absences or early departures during the school day. We are unable to broadcast announcements to classrooms due to the significant disruption this causes to learning, and so when prior notification is not provided, there can be substantial delays in being able to have a student present to reception.
Where possible, if your child has an appointment during the school day, please ensure they are aware of the time they need to leave class and attend the office. An accompanying written note from home assists staff in supporting this process efficiently and respectfully.
Year 7 Premier League
Our Year 7 students commenced their Premier League season in May, representing the College in weekly interschool competitions across Basketball, Netball, Soccer, Volleyball, and AFL Football. This has been a wonderful opportunity for students to demonstrate teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship, while also building positive relationships with their peers and teachers beyond the classroom. We commend all students for the way they have represented the College, and we look forward to the upcoming finals in June.
