YEAR 10 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 1

Welcome to Term 4

Welcome back to Term 4! This is a short but important eight-week term as we work towards wrapping up the school year. We encourage all students to arrive each day ready to engage, participate fully, and make the most of the opportunities ahead. Maintaining consistent attendance, punctuality, and effort will be key to finishing the year on a positive note as we approach the end of the year.

Year 11 Mentor Applications

At the end of last term, we received 40 nominations from our Year 10 cohort for Year 11 Mentor roles in 2026. This is fantastic and a testament to the calibre of students we have in the Year 10 cohort. We look forward to the next step in the leadership application process.

Uniform Schedule: Week 1

WHOLE-OF-COLLEGE NOTICES

Term 3 Reports

Term 3 Reports have now been uploaded and can be accessed via the MyCE Parent App or the Parent Portal. Please click on the tab labelled 'The Learning Dashboard' to view your child's report.

Parents are encouraged to view these with their students, celebrating the successes and discussing the challenges.

Jewellery & Personal Grooming

Please see below the Jewellery and Personal Grooming requirements for the commencement of Term 4, as observed in the Student Expectations document found on the College website.

Please keep in mind: Students who DO NOT meet these expectations at school's commencement will be withdrawn from recess breaks, with expectations to be adhered to by Thursday at 8:30 am. After Thursday, further consequences that impact the usual learning program will follow should these expectations not be met.

JEWELLERY:

Jewellery is to be discreet, meaning not particularly noticeable, and is limited to:

1x Watch
1x Silver or gold simple necklace with a religious medallion or cross is only worn under the College uniform and is not visible
1x Small silver or gold sleeper/stud in each earlobe only, no larger than 5mm

PERSONAL GROOMING:

Makeup, nail polish, and cosmetic accessories, such as acrylic nails and eyelash extensions, are unacceptable. Eyebrows are to be natural and discreet.
Hair is to be of a conventional style, neat and of natural colour, shade and tone. Examples of unacceptable hairstyles include, but are not limited to, mullets, undercuts, shaved patterns, lines, tracks, cornrows, dreadlocks, and marked contrasts in hair length, no shorter than a number 3 comb length.
Students are to be clean-shaven.

Stop, Drop & Go Zone Reminder

We ask that parents drive as far forward as possible in the Stop, Drop & Go zone at the front of the College, especially during wet weather. Please do not stop at the Teepee, as this causes traffic to back up and creates further congestion.
