PARENT INFORMATION EVENINGS

A series of Parent Information evenings will be held at 7:00pm in the Assembly Hall on the following dates:

• Year 8 - Thursday 25 February
• Year 9 - Monday 15 February
• Year 10 - Wednesday 24 February
• Year 11 - Thursday 18 February

These evenings will be conducted by your child's Student Management team. Each evening will include important information about camps, the academic and extracurricular program at that year level, attendance requirements, the academic and pastoral support provided to students by the College, etc.  Students need not attend these nights, as they are focussed on information for parents.

Parents of Year 7 students are invited to attend the following:

• Our 'Meet the Principal' afternoon tea, at 2:00pm in the Assembly Hall on Wednesday 10 February; and
• A Parent Information evening from 5:30pm in the Assembly Hall on Wednesday 2 March; this will be conducted by the Student Management team, and attended by all teachers of Year 7 classes.  Further information about this event will be provided closer to the date.
