Issue #9 28 Aug 2026

With the end of term fast approaching, we encourage all students to finish the term positively and continue to demonstrate our Junior School expectations.

Students are reminded to:

• Be on time and ready to begin learning.
• Be organised with the equipment and materials they need.
• Wear the correct school uniform each day.
• Be in class and settled for every lesson.
• Actively participate in their learning and make the most of every opportunity.   

There is still plenty of learning to be done before the end of term, so let’s finish strong.

Year 7 Zoo Excursion

Our Year 7 Zoo Excursion is taking place next week. This will be a fantastic opportunity for students to extend their learning beyond the classroom, engage with new experiences and put their knowledge into practice. We encourage all students to make the most of this valuable learning opportunity and represent our school positively throughout the day.

Year 8 Course Counselling

Year 8 Course Counselling has now taken place. Students and families are reminded that the subjects selected are preferences rather than guaranteed placements. We will do our best to accommodate student preferences; however, a range of factors need to be considered when developing the final timetable.

Actual Year 9 timetables will be released later in Term 4. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we work through this process.

Uniform Reminder

Finally, a reminder that all students are expected to attend school in full and correct school uniform each day. We appreciate the continued support of families in ensuring students arrive at school dressed appropriately and ready to learn.
