Assistant Principal

 Year 7 & 8

Week 5 and the term is already past the halfway point! There has been a lot happening around the school for staff and students alike. Our students have been involved in activities from clubs to events and excursions, interschool sports, as well as preparation for assessments. Meanwhile, staff have been undergoing professional development and doing an amazing job support our student’s learning growth and journey. 

State-wide transition for students transitioning from year 6 into year 7 has been underway since the beginning of this term. At the start of the term, primary schools should have distributed placement information packs to all parents/careers which includes the application for year 7 placement. All applications were due to be returned to primary schools by Friday May 12th. We understand that some of our families at the college have younger children that are looking to enrol for year 7 in 2024 and encourage them to ensure that they have returned all required forms to primary schools. Please also be aware that some private and catholic primary school may choose to not engage in the public-school process. If you have not received any information for whatever reason, please reach out to your primary school or make contact with our general office to assist. 

Year 10 students received their immunisations on May 23rd. Students received the Meningococcal ACWY single vaccination. Thank you to all staff and students for their cooperation and support on the day. 

I would like to take this opportunity to remind our parents and carers about the use of our school parking area, and in particular the Dalton Rd car park that provides access to the general office. The car parks are primarily allocated for staff use, however there are some reserved spaces for delivery and other special pick up/drop off circumstances. Parents/carers are not to wait within the car park space, or to double park to collect their child. This is creating an unsafe environment for our students and community to be able to exit the school in an appropriate manner. Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.
