Speech Day

Speech Day Information for Parents

I will outline some information about our final few days below, but meanwhile, please remember that Speech Day is a compulsory event for students and no leave will be granted for an early departure.

On Monday and Tuesday students in the Senior School may wear their sports uniform to school. This is to allow for the cleaning of all formal uniform items so that everything is in perfect order for the Carol Service and Speech Day. There will be normal lessons for Years 7, 9 and 11 on these two days; Year 8 are continuing their Orange 2050 program and Year 10 are doing Living Skills.

On Tuesday evening there is a Carol Service in the DPA, starting at 6:30pm. Students are to wear uniform to this event.

Speech Day itself is Wednesday 5 December, starting at 10:00am sharp.

For students:

• They must be at school at 9:00 in full and immaculate uniform, including blazer
• They should go directly to their Tutor area for a roll mark and further information
• They enter the DPA via the side doors to allow easy access for guests via the main doors
• They must be seated in House areas within the DPA by 9:35. Prize-winners and musicians will have allocated seating

For parents:

• There is no parking on the Wolaroi site on Wednesday until the ceremony is over and guests have departed
• The normal drop-off zone near the DPA will be in operation
• Parking/traffic attendants will be in place to ensure that only those with reserved places use on-site parking areas
• The Orange Function Centre will have parking spaces available and the school will run a shuttle bus to and from the Wolaroi site
• Please be very punctual to the ceremony
• The music for the ceremony will be sensational, so do come along to share our final whole-school formal occasion of 2018
