Semester 2

Semester 2 has begun with many students completing new electives with many new faces. Although this may feel daunting, this is a great opportunity to get to know other students and involve yourself in new and exciting electives. It is also timely to remind our families of our school policy in relation to family holidays during term that are not approved absences. Students have a maximum of 5 unapproved absences (and 5 approved) per semester in line with the VCE policy and we would appreciate the support of our families.

Finally, we would like to wish all our families a safe and restful holiday break.

We look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday 13 July.
