YEAR 8 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 2
School Lockers – A Reminder
Since returning from the holidays, we have noticed that some students do not have a lock on their locker. Having a lock is essential to ensure belongings are kept safe throughout the school day. Pastoral Mentors will follow up with families where lockers remain unsecured. If your child requires one, locks are available for purchase through the Uniform Shop.
Year 8 Community Day – Coming Soon
We are excited to let you know that a Year 8 Community Day is being planned for the final week of Term 4. This will be a special opportunity for students to come together, celebrate the end of the year, and strengthen our theme of Building Strong Connections. Further details will be shared with families in the coming weeks.
Bathroom Etiquette at the College
At the beginning of the term, students have been reminded that multiple students should not be in the toilet cubicles due to privacy and student protection. This is a major behaviour choice due to privacy laws, and the College will respond according to the Whole School Behaviour Support Plan. We appreciate your support in reiterating this message at home.
We have recently provided new bathroom facilities to increase student access, and are currently upgrading the G Block bathrooms and showers. It is disappointing when students are not able to use these appropriately. Students who fail to show dignity and respect for the College facilities will receive appropriate responses from the College Leadership Team.
