YEAR 11 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 8

Class of 2027 Senior Jersey

Students have now voted on their preferred design for the Class of 2027 Senior Jersey, and we are now moving into the ordering stage.

Ordering information will be shared with students and families in the coming weeks, with orders remaining open until mid-October. During Weeks 8 and 9, students will have the opportunity to try on sample jerseys provided by the supplier to assist them in selecting the correct size before placing their order.

2027 Student Leadership

The 2027 Student Leadership process continues to progress. Students applying for College Captain positions have now completed their interviews and are preparing their speeches for the next stage of the selection process.

Students applying for portfolio leadership positions will participate in their interviews in the coming week. We wish all students involved well as they continue through the selection process.

Student Drivers

As more Year 11 students begin driving themselves to and from the College, a reminder that students are not permitted to leave the College grounds during the school day without parent/carer permission.

Driving to school does not give students permission to leave during the day. Where permission has been provided by a parent/carer, students must follow the usual sign-out procedures through the College Office before leaving the grounds.

We appreciate the support of students and families in following these expectations.

Careers

Have you been affected by a serious illness or injury during your school years?
