School Uniform
With the mornings becoming cooler, students are expected to wear full winter uniform every day. Students and families are reminded that hoodies are not part of the school's official uniform and cannot be worn at school. Students who are out of uniform must bring a note of explanation including when they will be back in complete uniform. While out of uniform, students must wear alternative clothing that is as close as possible to college uniform (eg. a black or white top).Parents will be contacted if a student is out of uniform without a note. If the parent/guardian can be contacted the student may be sent home to return in full school uniform or uniform brought to the college to change into. If the parent/guardian cannot be contacted the student will be provided with emergency clothing for that day by the school.A copy of the College’s Uniform Policy is attached. If you have any queries regarding the Uniform Policy contact Mr Morgan on 50252501.

Doctors In Secondary Schools Program
Our Doctors in Secondary Schools program is available for all secondary students to access free (bulk-billed), confidential health care at school. This is a fantastic service which students can access for any of their health care needs including asthma/anaphylaxis plans, catch-up immunisations, mental/emotional health and any other medical concerns no matter how big or small. Students can see the school doctor for any reason that they would see their usual GP.
The rooms will be open every Wednesday during the school term from 9am – 2pm. Students can make appointments by contacting Amy in the general office or they can ask a teacher or wellbeing staff member to make the appointment for them – the only details required to make an appointment will be the student’s name and date of birth.
Parents are welcome to attend appointments if the student wishes.
