College Matters
Semester 2 reports
The semester 2 reports will be available on Compass at 3.30pm on Friday 15 December.
This year the college has moved to continuous reporting. This means that as tasks are completed, students and parents are able to view the grade, the rubric and the comment on Compass. These comments will also appear on the end of semester report, along with a report on:
- Classes attended
- Progress against the Victorian Curriculum standards (for Year 7-10 students)
- VCE outcomes (for students undertaking VCE subjects)
- Work habits
- Semester exam (if relevant)
Blazer Pockets
Final opportunity to change over old logo to new logo.
Costume World has advised that a limited number of blazer pockets have become available. This is the last opportunity to obtain a new logo pocket to replace an old logo pocket. Contact Costume World to purchase a pocket for $24 on 9584 7006 or www.costume-world.com.au.
From 2018 all blazers must feature the new logo.
Second-hand Uniform Shop
The transition to school uniform with the new logo is now complete. This means that any items in the Second-hand Uniform Shop with the old logo can no longer be sold ie blazers, VCE jumpers and sports uniform.
We will be contacting families who have these items in the shop and asking if they would like to collect them. Uncollected items will be disposed of.
Parents can still purchase any of the school bags in the Second-hand Uniform Shop with the old logo, until the supply has run out. The shop will not be accepting any further school bags with the old logo.
There is a limited supply of new pockets for sale at Costume World. (Please contact Costume World first to check how many pockets are left.)
Students can purchase a second-hand blazer with the old logo and attach a new pocket. However, please note that we are not able to guarantee an exact colour match.
The shop is also seeking more items for sale, specifically summer dresses, the new PE uniform and blazers with the new logo.
The college greatly appreciates the work of the volunteers in the shop – Donna Harrison, Diane Weston, Annette Fitton, Val Tyers, Val Bletcher and Jo Baxas. The sales from the shop are used to support the school. Of particular note is the donation of $5000 towards Presentation Evening.

Cockatoo Rescue
Many birds have made a home in the magnificent gum trees on the school grounds. During the recent heat-wave a sulfur-crested cockatoo chick fell from its tree hollow nest . Gerry Van Den Berg, our maintenance manager, rescued the young bird and built a temporary a home where it could be cared for by its attentive parents until ready to fly.
