Camp
The Summit Camp at Trafalgar
At the end of this term, 65 students from Year 9 and 10 will get to participate in a free 5 day camp in Trafalgar. The camp will take place in week 9, June 20th – June 24th. At the camp, the students will get to participate in 12 activities such as Abseiling, Flying Fox, Giant Swing, Cave, Bush Challenge, High Wire, Inflatables, Leap of Faith, Snake and Nails, Summit Window, Snowy River Challenge, Laser Skirmish. More information can be found on The Summit web-site. The camp is designed to build teamwork, self-esteem and confidence.
Tasmania
Due to the possibility of Covid, the Tasmania camp will not be going ahead. This camp will be replaced with something else soon. More information will follow soon.
Attendance
This year we will be trying to increase student attendance rates especially at Year 10. We would really appreciate a phone call to the 24-Hour attendance line if your child is absent from school. This helps our attendance officer track students and improve our % attendance for each student.
PBS
Students can receive a KPA SMS message to parents from teachers each lesson for positive behaviour. Students are also receiving postcards for displaying consistent behaviours for the four school pillars of Excellence, Relationships, Work Ethic and Engagement. This year we will be rewarding students with great attendance to school and for GPA reports at or above 3.5.
