Welcome Families BBQ
Join us as we ring in the new school year with our Welcome Families BBQ, to be held tomorrow afternoon (Thursday 15 February) on the College Green.
We'll be firing up the grill from 4.00pm, so be sure to pop down for a bite to eat and a beverage in between attending the Parent Information and Connect sessions.
The event is also an opportunity for our community to meet and get to know our new SMC students and families. We hope to see you all there as we celebrate the start of 2024 together.
