YEAR 12 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 6

Congratulations to our Senior Leaders on running their first House Assembly. The video presentation was fantastic, and the support shown by the Year 12 cohort was outstanding. They have really set the tone for the upcoming Swimming Carnival and laid a strong foundation for participation, leadership, and healthy competition throughout the year.

Punctuality, organisation and preparation are fundamental to success. These habits reduce cognitive load, free up mental energy and allow students to focus more effectively on their learning. The College Diary is a valuable resource to help students organise their tasks, particularly as assessment deadlines approach, and manage stress effectively.

Shoe Guide

At the College, students are required to adhere to the uniform and personal grooming guide. We want to support families, students, and teachers in understanding specific requirements, particularly for sports shoes. We know students are currently wearing shoes in the 'not suitable' section of the graphic below.

To provide clarity, we have listed the main shoes worn by students with their sports uniforms that require fixing and shoes must meet expectations for the start of Term 2. This provides you and your family time to make changes to comply with the uniform guideline outlined in the College Diary under Uniforms: Sport shoes - Low cut, supportive, lace-up, all-purpose shoes for running with a suitable grip. Colour scheme should be discreet. Skate shoes and other flat-soled shoes are not acceptable.

The shoes shown in the graphic below are examples we frequently see; they are not the ONLY shoes not permitted. If you are unsure of the correct shoes, please send a picture or ask your child to speak with the Head of Year for clarification. Uniform infringement consequences will come into play at the commencement of Term 2. We appreciate your support in making it very clear what we expect regarding appropriate footwear at the College.
