Live Parent Webinar: How You Can Set Your Child Up for Success
Wednesday 11 December from 6.30 - 7.30pm
It’s no secret that if students don’t hit the ground running at the start of the academic year, they can spend the rest of it trying to catch up. This webinar is designed to help parents give their child a head start come January by equipping them with the skills needed to get – and stay – ahead.

Music Tuition for 2025
If you would like to register your child for music tuition in 2025, I kindly ask you to complete the Instrumental and Vocal Tuition application form. Current tuition arrangements do not automatically transfer into 2025. A new registration form will need to be completed.
This is contained at the end of the Music Tuition Guidelines, which may be found here.
The registration process for tuition in 2025 can commence from now, and this will need to be submitted by 7 February. You will be then notified of a lesson time and contacted by your allocated Tutor in mid February.

Community & Service Activities
Monday 9 - Thursday 12 December
On Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 December, Year 10 will be participating in a number of off-campus community service activities. Details and arrangements for these can be found in the communication shared with parents on 1 November. Students choosing not to take part in these activities are not required to be on campus for Monday and Tuesday of this week.
On Wednesday 11 December, Year 9 and 10 students will take part in a Community Day to celebrate the year’s work. This will involve activities in Tutor Groups, including the Amazing Race and the Friendly Games. Students should wear their sports uniforms on this day.
The final day of term for students is Thursday 12 December. Students will spend the morning with their Tutor Group before attending a final Assembly in The Farrall Centre at 11am. Following this, students will walk to the Bell Street grounds for a BBQ lunch and games. Sports uniform should be worn on this day. Students will be dismissed from Bell Street at 3pm on this day.
We hope and expect all of our students will finish the school year with a sense of focus, engagement and momentum. We look forward to celebrating the final moments of the academic year with students in a way which is sensible, inclusive and mindful of obligations to uphold the learning environment.
