Uniform

Clarification for Junior students wearing their blazers - the student planner states that students wear their blazer with their academic uniform, blazers are to be worn to and from school, and on excursions. Once at school, students may place them on the back of their chair or store them in the lockers.

Students are not to wear their soft-shell jackets with their academic uniform. Students are still completing health in their single PE; therefore, they will only be in PE uniform on the day they have their double, unless communicated by their classroom teacher.

Please ensure all students have the correct uniform items over the school holidays to start term 3.

Year 7 & 8 House Day

On Friday, 20th June, all Year 7 and 8 students participated in our much-anticipated House Day. Students were placed into mixed groups across their year levels and engaged in a range of fun and interactive activities designed to build relationships, celebrate success, and foster a strong sense of belonging. It was fantastic to see students stepping outside of their usual friendship groups, working collaboratively, and showing great enthusiasm and pride in the activities they selected. A big thank you to all staff who supported the day and helped make it such a positive experience for our junior students.

Locker Bay

Please ensure that locks are kept on lockers at all times to protect your belongings and maintain a safe environment.

We also ask all students to play their part in keeping our junior locker bay and the Sanctuary clean. Please use the bins provided for all rubbish and take responsibility for cleaning up after yourself. These are shared spaces and should be treated with respect and responsibility.

By taking pride in our environment, we show respect for our school community and create a space where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported.

Change of Semester

During week 9, we saw a change of semester and with that, new electives for Year 7 & 8 students. Timetables have been updated on Compass. Students have made a positive start in these classes, learning new content and continuing to meet the high classroom expectations the college has.

The end of a long term has arrived, we wish all our junior students and families a restful break to reset, and spend time together.
