Year 7 and New Students for 2024 Information Evening

On Thursday 31 August, we will be holding the Year 7 and New Students Information Evening for all students commencing in 2024. The Information Evening provides families with important information about the transition program to assist current Year 6 students and students in other year groups commencing at St Norbert College next year. Both students and at least one parent/carer are required to attend the evening which commences at 6.00pm in the Fr Peter O’Reilly Centre. After an introduction to the whole group, families will then be split into smaller groups for some more informal presentations and discussion about what students can expect when they commence next year and how they can best prepare for this transition. 

RSVP for Year 12 Graduation

This week, Year 12 students received their formal invite for the Class of 2023 Graduation Mass and Supper that will take place in St Joseph’s in Priory Church on Friday 20 October commencing at 6.30pm. Students also received a TryBooking link that will allow them to register up to four guests for the Graduation ceremony. The final RSVP date for the Class of 2023 Graduation is Monday 18 September. 

Uniform and Personal Presentation

As Term 3 moves into its final weeks, some students seemingly have decided to wait until the school holidays before they fix any issues with their uniform, haircut or personal presentation. This is not an appropriate response as students are required to present themselves according to the College’s uniform and personal presentation expectations at all times. Students also need to be in possession of a well-fitting House shirt for use at House and College events. Those students who are identified to have uniform irregularities such as haircuts, missing buttons, incorrect hem lengths or additional piercings will need to rectify these issues immediately. For any situation where there is a valid reason why this cannot be done, students are required to provide their Homeroom teacher with a parent note explaining the reason behind the uniform infringement. This is especially true for Year 12 students who are reminded that following the College’s uniform and personal presentation standard is a prerequisite for involvement in the upcoming Graduation ceremonies.

R U Legal? Program

On Monday 18 September, sessions of the R U Legal? Program will be presented  at a scheduled time for each year group from Years 7 to 11. The R U Legal? Program provides young people with information about the criminal justice system and the laws that affect them. The sessions are presented by Legal Aid WA lawyers using real-life examples to demonstrate legal consequences for young people. Sessions are tailored to meet the age and needs of the students with topics that are relevant and engaging for each particular year group.

All sessions include information on the role of Legal Aid WA in the community, the age of criminal responsibility, common reasons why young people get into trouble with the law, consequences of breaking the law, rights when dealing with police, and where to get help. Specifically for Years 7, 8 and 9, the topics addressed will be common offences for young people, cyber bullying, and sexting and image-based abuse. For Years 10 and 11, the particular topics addressed will be common offences for young people, sex and consent, and cars and driving. 

The R U Legal? Program consists of free community legal education sessions and resources for young people, parents, educators and community groups. You can find more information here:
