Parents and carers should now have received the Term 3, Week 2 Progress Reports. Congratulations to the almost 100 Junior Sub School students who achieved an average score of 3.5 or above across their reports. This is a fantastic achievement and reflects these students' consistent commitment to our school values of Attendance, Participation, Progress, Preparedness and Respect. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and encourage all students to continue striving for their personal best. Congratulations to the following students who have achieved a perfect score:

  • Heldana John
  • Emma Drew-Brick
  • Jacob Richens

Parent Teacher Interviews

This week the college community participated in Parent-Teacher Interviews, and it was wonderful to see so many families taking the opportunity to meet with teachers to discuss student learning and progress. Strong partnerships between home and school play an important role in supporting student success, and we appreciate the time families took to attend.

Year 7 Zoo Excursion

A reminder to Year 7 families to please complete the permission and consent process for the upcoming Werribee Zoo excursion if you have not already done so. Permission is due by the 27th of August. We are looking forward to providing students with this exciting learning opportunity.

Year 8 Course Counselling

Year 8 Course Counselling will take place Friday 14th August. Students should regularly check their school email for important information regarding what subjects are on offer and the course selection process. Any students with questions are encouraged to speak to their teachers and coordinators in the lead up to course counselling.
