Year 9 Camp
Year 9 Camp is occurring this term in Week 7, Wednesday 21 August to Friday 23 August 2024. The Year 9 camp builds on the Survival unit that each Year 9 student is completing in their APP class (either in Semester 1 or Semester 2). During the camp, students will participate in a range of adventure based team building experiences themed around survival-based challenges.
Camp Forms have been distributed to all year 9 families and are due back my Monday 22 July. Extra forms can be downloaded from the school website:
Any questions please email: year9camp@thegapshs.eq.edu.au.
Subject Selection
Subject selection is now open in OneSchool. Attached are the offerings.
All subject selections close the Friday of Week 6 this term.
Student activities – Non-curriculum
Planning has already commenced for end-of-year activities for our student cohorts, including the Year 12 formal, senior jersey, Junior School activities at Theme parks and the Boat Cruise for Year 9 students.Invitations may not be offered to students with outstanding fees on their school accounts. We encourage families to contact the school if they have any concerns regarding the charges on their children’s accounts or if they require a payment plan.
Financial accounts for Year 12 students need to be finalised as soon as possible and no later than the start of Term 3 2024 – this includes payments to be finalised on any payment plan already in place. Payment plans will not be offered in Term 3 for Year 12 students.
As advised previously on our website, in our school newsletter and in correspondence to families, students may not be invited to participate in any non-curriculum activities, if they have outstanding school fees. We refer to clause 32 (Debt Management) of the Student Resource Scheme Participation Agreement form, which clearly indicates that where participation fees are overdue, the Principal has the discretion to exclude a student from an optional school activity.
