Students are expected to return for Term 4 on Monday, 13th October, dressed in their full summer uniform.

For sports days, students must wear correct sports socks paired with black or white sports shoes. The school sport uniform is to be worn only on designated class sport or swimming days.

We also remind families that hairstyles should be neat and tidy, with long hair tied back at all times.
