Co-curricular Attendance and Commitment 

Regular attendance at training for sport and rehearsals for music are vital for our programs to excel. If your child is unavailable to attend a training or rehearsal, please email the director of the ensemble or the sports department prior to the event. Students who do not inform the College of their absence at training will receive an infringement. 

Winter Uniform 

The transition to Winter uniform will occur in Week 4. Students will be allowed to wear either Winter or Summer uniform in Week 4. The Winter uniform will be compulsory from Week 5.

Student Entrepreneur Opportunities

The Student Entrepreneur Weekend is a fun, dynamic event taking place during the last week of Term 2. Funded by the PMSA, participation is free and will give students the chance to collaborate with students from other PMSA schools, hear from industry experts, and put their problem-solving skills to the test.

 

Participants will team up to devise innovative solutions to real-world business problems. At the end of the weekend, they'll pitch their ideas to the industry partner who will judge which proposed action plan is the most effective. The winning team will get to explore their ideas further in collaboration with the participating organisation.
