Uniform and Appearance Policy

A reminder that all students should arrive in full school uniform each day. A copy of the Uniform Policy can be found here. A Compass notification will be sent to Parents/carers advising when students are wearing incorrect uniform.

Attendance

Homegroup is an important part of the school day. Time is requisitioned for prayer, daily notices, organisation, community initiatives, and academic care and wellbeing. A good example of a community initiative is our current pushup challenge, which raises awareness about the positive impact of physical exercise on mental health. 

Homegroup begins each morning at 8:45 am and it is vital that students arrive at the College prior to this time. From the beginning of Term 3, students arriving late (after 8:45 am) will be required to make up lost time at recess or lunch. Students catching a bus that arrives after 8.45 am will be exempt from this process. We trust that students will use the holidays if necessary to organise transport that has them arrive at school on time. Any queries may be directed to the Assistant Principal, Mr Shaun Ellis.

A reminder that a Compass Attendance note must be completed if your child is absent on any given day.

2024 Bullying No Way

This year’s theme: Everyone belongs

Next week is the national week of action. When we feel like we belong, bullying struggles to find a place. It's about embracing who we are, respecting everyone's differences and standing up together against unkindness. 

Belonging means we all have a role in preventing bullying. We're encouraged to speak up and create a safe place where everyone feels supported and respected, and our voices are heard and valued.

Headspace are hosting free online workshops as part of the Bullying No Way: National Week of Action. See attached for more details.

MaterVision

On the last day of Term 2, students and staff took part in the annual MaterVision Song Contest. The five houses each organised a unique singing and dancing act to perform in front of the College Community in a fun-spirited event. Thank you to all the House Captains, House Leaders, teachers and students involved in making for a great afternoon filled with confetti and questionable vocals. Congratulations to Rosarie who took out the competition with their rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
