Reminder: Family Photo Evening
We will be hosting the Family Photo Evening in Hodgkin Hall on Thursday 27 June from 4pm until 6pm.
The Family Photo Evening is a chance for your whole family to get a formal photo together or for siblings to get a group photo that you might otherwise not get the chance to organise.
If you would like to attend the Family Photo session please pick up an envelope from either Main Reception at the High School Campus or from the Morris Office. You do not need to make a booking for this session.
If you have any queries, please contact our Communications Coordinator, Zoe Geard.

We remind our community that the payment options currently offered include EFTPOS, Bpay, monthly direct debit, funds transfer or cheque.
