YEAR 11
Year 11 Key Information
- Students have now begun Unit 3, Year 12 work. Students who need to make subject changes are encouraged to speak to the relevant staff as soon as possible.
- This is a reminder that the TTC carpark is for staff and current Year 12 students. Those in Year 11 driving to school are reminded to be mindful of where they are parking, considerate of their neighbours, and obey Council parking regulations.
- With Year 12s on block exams, it's more important than ever that our Year 11s maintain our high uniform standards as they are now the leaders of our College.
- Thank you to all families for meeting deadlines with senior shirts and jerseys. The orders are now completed.

Whole of College Key Information
- We are still in the Cane Train season, and we frequently cross the railway line that runs beside the College fence. Students must adhere to the signs of a cane train approaching, with lights and sounds triggered at the crossing as the train approaches. In this instance, students must stay well away from the railway line. We appreciate families reminding your children of this safety notice.
- We are fundraising this term in support St Vincent de Paul’s Christmas Food Hampers, which will be donated during our Christmas Liturgy on the last day of Term 4. The pastoral group that fills the the most washing baskets (Hampers) for the Christmas Appeal will be rewarded with a class party! We appreciate families contributing to our fundraising initiative to support those in need at Christmas.
Please Remember:- Donations must have an expiry date of at least January 2025.
- Toys and gifts are not required as other organisations handle these contributions.
- Attendance is a critical component of continued learning and human development in schools. The table below highlights how missing school days can add up ultimately impacting the continuity of education, leading to disengagement. If your child/ren is having difficulty with attendance please reach out to our pastoral team for support. Attendance matters! Every child, on time, every day!
CRAZY SOCK DAY
Next Tuesday, we’ll host Crazy Sock Day to raise funds for Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. A gold coin donation is required and will be collected during Pastoral Group. All students are encouraged to participate by wearing their most creative, crazy socks. Each Pastoral Group will nominate or vote for one student who stands out with the best crazy socks. These nominated students will then compete against other nominees from their House at the House assembly. The winning student from each House will be awarded a $10 tuckshop voucher for their effort and creativity.
