Pastoral Care

We warmly welcome all students and families back to school for 2026. We hope everyone enjoyed a safe, restful break and is feeling refreshed and ready for the year ahead. 

College Diaries

The college diary is an important organisational tool used to document homework and assessments; and also has a number of learning tools such as maps and formulas. Each week has space for parents to check and sign, as well as weekly reflections. Please check your daughter’s diary each week and sign that you have done so. Students are asked to take their diary to each lesson.

Hats

For the warmer months, sun safety remains a key priority at school. In line with recommendations from Cancer Council Australia, students in Years 7-9 are required to wear the broad brimmed hat to and from school and in the playground. This refelcts the changes in the school uniform in 2024. We also ask all students to wear hats while outdoors on excursions and for sports during Terms 1 and 4. 

Hats play an important role in protecting students from harmful UV radiation and help us promote lifelong sun-safe habits. Students without an appropriate hat will be asked to sit in shaded areas during breaks.

Parent Support

A new school year brings exciting opportunities for learning, growth and connection, and we are looking forward to working in partnership with our community to support every student’s success. See the below tips as to how you can support your daughter/s to thrive and also develop important life skills

• Reflection: Ask your daughter what she learnt and liked each day 
• Growth Mindset: Ask your daughter what was a challenge and what she can do to improve
• Blessings: Share your daily blessings/gratefulness with each other
• Accountability: Use diary to record tasks and classes
• Team Effort: Check her school diary and remind about tasks 
• Observe: Join Google Classrooms to see what activities your daughter is doing and ask questions if necessary. 
• Independence: Encourage your daughter to be independent and see staff with their questions and for guidance 

• More Help: Encourage your daughter to reach out for help if needed 

   

Please reach out to teachers for subject related matters, or to their Pastoral Care Teacher or Coordinator for wellbeing or administrative matters. 

Thank you for your ongoing support as we begin another positive year together. We look forward to a happy, healthy and productive 2026 with our community.
