Anzac Day Preparations

On Thursday the 12th April the Year 9 Elective History and HSIE class volunteered to lay flowers and crosses on the graves of local servicemen in preparation for ANZAC Day. They worked with students from the other schools to acknowledge and show respect for the 1050 servicemen that fought from our local area.

CYBER SAFETY

Over the past few weeks, we have been visited by the Police Schools Liaison Officer Senior Constable Alex Davies to speak to our students from Yr 7-10 regarding Cyber Safety. He covered information about laws and appropriate behaviour particularly relating to online bullying, safe use of social media, awareness around the issue of sharing personal information and sexting. I encourage you to speak to your children about this session and the important insights they gained about appropriate cyber use.
