Dates and times for this Semester’s Parent Teacher Interviews are listed below, all interviews are 5 minutes in duration and will be conducted via Google Meet. Your son should be present with you in the interview.
We conduct our Parent/Teacher/Student interviews in Term 3 as we believe that early contact with Parents is an essential element in successful study.

Traffic Management
Over the past year the traffic in Kernot Ave has increased threefold. As a result, there are concerns for the safety of our students, your sons. In the past, we have asked parents to not use Kernot Ave during drop off and pick up times. Please, do not use Kernot Ave to pick up your son. Please do not park along the north side of Kernot Ave, the side where the uniform shop is situated. This clogs the traffic flow and makes it difficult for buses to enter and leave the College.
There are many alternatives when it comes to picking up your son, they can walk over the bridge and be picked up on Brandon Park Drive, you can meet them in the Monash Community carpark, which can be accessed from Wellington Road and there are many side streets off Monash Drive where you can wait for your son.
Please work with us in ensuring the safety of your son.

Parents are reminded to please label all uniforms and personal items. Due to limited storage space, unnamed items will now only be kept for 2 weeks before being donated to the second-hand uniform shop or discarded.
