YEAR 7 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 2
Student Lockers
School lockers are important for students to be able to appropriately secure their belongings at school. We have noticed that many student lockers have not been secured with a working lock since returning from the holidays. The College accepts no responsibility for items that are lost or stolen from unsecured lockers.
Pastoral Mentors will contact parents via email by the end of the week if their child’s locker remains unsecured. Locks are available from the Uniform Shop.
Year 7 Vaccinations
Thursday 29 October (Week 4)
The Queensland School Immunisation Program will be visiting the College on Thursday 29 October (Week 4) to administer vaccinations for HPV and diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis.
Consent forms were sent to parents and returned last term. Only students with the appropriate consent will be vaccinated on the day.
Mental Health Week
Next week, the College community will recognise Mental Health Week.
It is widely recognised that a sense of community belonging, valued friendships, and trusted adults in a young person’s life are significant protective factors in supporting positive mental health. Throughout the week, students will have the opportunity to engage in activities that promote connection, fun and belonging within our community.
I encourage all Year 7 students to join with their friends and participate in the wide variety of activities on offer throughout the week.
