Summer sport holiday conditioning programs

With school holidays now upon us, the best way for summer athletes to prepare for our first competitive ISA round is to stay healthy and active over the break.

 

As part of the newly introduced Strength and Conditioning Program, students can now access cardiovascular conditioning training programs to complete in the school holidays on Student Central.

 

These programs can easily be completed at a local park, court, or field.

 

Programs can be found on Canvas at Student Central / Extra Curricular / Sport and ISA.

Training resumes on Tuesday 10 October, with the first round of ISA competition to take place on Saturday 21 October.

Uniform Shop

If you require any Summer uniform items for Term 4, please visit the College website for the Uniform Shop opening hours during the school holidays and beginning of term.

 

Please note: due to our material manufacturer’s closure during COVID, we are currently out of size 6L and 8L dresses, and have limited stock of all other dress sizes. Our suppliers are doing all they can to get us dresses as soon as possible, however, we will not have replacement stock until the end of October. Until stock arrives, we will have to limit purchases to one dress per student.

 

We will advise via Student Daily Notices and Chev Need to Knows when new stock arrives. 

 

We apologise for any inconvenience.
