End of Year Program
The End of Year Program will focus on a range of experiences for students including engaging in work focused on skills for the following year, creative arts and physical activity, and supporting the preparation of the school grounds for the end of the school year. All activities will be on site and classes will be collapsed where required. Students will need to bring pens, paper, and their laptops.
A note about lockers:
- Lockers must be emptied and locks removed by the end of the school day on Wednesday December 10. This allows for maintenance and movement of lockers in preparation for 2026.
- The school is not able to take responsibility for locks and personal possessions left in lockers after this date.
- Please write the combination for your lock somewhere safe, ready for day 1 2026.
- It is a good idea to give your lock a spray of WD40 or similar to ensure it runs smoothly for the next year.
- Students will be allowed to take bags into class during the end of year program.
- Any students finishing their school year early need to empty their locker and remove their lock before they leave.
