Parents and Carers

Year 8 and Year 10 Subject Selection Night

This term, Year 8 and Year 10 students, their parents and carers were invited to come and speak with their Year Advisers, Deputy Principal and teachers from across our faculties to learn about the various subjects and courses on offer as they enter years 9 and 11 next year. For 2024, some of the elective subjects and courses include:

Department of Education ‒ Every Day Matters

We are committed to working with parents and carers to offer support and remove any barriers that may be preventing students from regularly attending school.

Please remember that all student absences must be explained within 7 days of the first day of them being away from school. Please contact us as soon as possible whenever your child is absent and let us know the reason for them being away. This allows us to provide the right support and make sure your child’s absences are recorded correctly.

In the event your child has repeated or ongoing unexplained absences, we will continue to try to contact you about each absence to provide appropriate support for you and your family.

We know that for our students every day of school matters.

Missing a day here or there may not seem like much, but absences add up and can negatively impact your child’s learning and wellbeing. When your child misses one day a week, that’s 40 days of school and 8 weeks of learning in one year. Over an entire school journey this adds up to 2.5 years of lost learning.

If you have any questions or if you need support with your child’s attendance, please contact us on 9632 9401.
