Student Free Day - Year 9

On Friday March 7th Year 9 students are not required to attend NCTTC due to a student free day. 

 

FOODBANK

We have been partnering with Foodbank Australia for the past few years to provide our incredible Breakfast Club Program. This program supplies us with a range of foods that allow us to make sure every kid starts the day with a full belly and keep it full throughout the day. 

GET INVOLVED

In the upcoming weeks, our year 7 and 9s start NAPLAN and we would love to have some community involvement in making some toasties for the students in the morning. If you would like to be involved, or know someone that would, please reach out to Miss McKay via phone, Xuno, or email: olivia.mckay@education.vic.gov.au.

 

Our NAPLAN dates are as follows:

  • Wednesday 12th March 
  • Thursday 13th March 
  • Monday 17th March 
  • Tuesday 18th March 

HOME PACKAGES

Another amazing aspect of this program is home packages that they provide. Each week, we have access to 8 home packages for families to access. If you are in need, please contact Olivia McKay or Daniel Pettifer to be put on the list.
