YEAR 9 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 8
Students will be completing NAPLAN in Week 8, finishing with Numeracy on Monday. Well done to the Year 9 cohort for your perseverance in the process. For students who missed the test, there will be catch-up sessions. Individual students will be notified of any catch-up sessions they should attend. Please ensure students' laptops are charged, and they have their wireless headphones with them.
Year 9 Camp
The Parent Slip for Camp will be arriving in your email on Monday. Please ensure all sections are filled out and up to date (medical and dietary). If you have any concerns or questions about Camp, please reach out. If your child is worried about attending camp or has missed camps in Year 7 or 8, please reach out early so we can offer support. We really want to support all students' attendance as it is such a valuable learning opportunity outside the normal school environment. We have many flexible options available.

Shoe Guide
At the College, students are required to adhere to the uniform and personal grooming guide. We want to support families, students, and teachers in understanding specific requirements, particularly for sports shoes. We know students are currently wearing shoes in the 'not suitable' section of the graphic below.
To provide clarity, we have listed the main shoes worn by students with their sports uniforms that require fixing and shoes must meet expectations for the start of Term 2. This provides you and your family time to make changes to comply with the uniform guideline outlined in the College Diary under Uniforms: Sport shoes - Low cut, supportive, lace-up, all-purpose shoes for running with a suitable grip. Colour scheme should be discreet. Skate shoes and other flat-soled shoes are not acceptable.
The shoes shown in the graphic below are examples we frequently see; they are not the ONLY shoes not permitted. If you are unsure of the correct shoes, please send a picture or ask your child to speak with the Head of Year for clarification. Uniform infringement consequences will come into play at the commencement of Term 2. We appreciate your support in making it very clear what we expect regarding appropriate footwear at the College.
