Uniform Reminders
A huge thank you to our families for your support of the phase-out of the old-style sports shorts. All students are now wearing the new shorts with yellow trim. Feedback from students is that the new shorts are much cooler than the previous style. The draw-string waist also allows for greater flexibility in sizing options. A reminder that all shorts should be “mid-thigh length” as per the Student Code of Presentation.
We appreciate your support in ensuring our high standards of presentation are maintained for all students within our College community.
Swimming Carnival
Next week, Tuesday, 14th February, our College will enjoy the annual swimming carnival. Following my newsletter article is information regarding the carnival, including information about acceptable swimwear. I ask that you please check that your child's swimwear complies with the Code of Presentation. Any student who does not have appropriate swimwear will be required to wear a College rash shirt.
Year 7 Transition Support
When a young person commences High School, this can be a big transition for the whole family. This week, we are featuring the first in a series of fact sheets to assist parents in supporting their young person - and the rest of the family - in navigating this period of transition.
Please see the information attached. If you are concerned about your child in Year 7 for any reason, please contact their PC Teacher or Leader of Student Wellbeing in the first instance.
