It's been a busy time as always in Junior School.
The Year 7 camp will take place in week 7 of Term 3 at the Amberley Centre. Students will participate in a range of activities over a three-day and two-night camp experience. All Year 7 students will come together on Wednesday 3 September, whilst the other days will be with their Integrated Studies/Skills Lab groups.
Year 7ABCD: Monday 1 September – Wednesday 3 September, 2025
Year 7EFGH: Wednesday 3 September – Friday 5 September, 2025
A final payment request of $290 will soon be issued to all families participating in this camp. This payment may be made via Compass or BPAY, or in person at the General Office. In order to access CSEF or SSB funds, please contact the General Office or email 7805-AccountsRec@schools.vic.edu.au. Final payments are due on Friday 1 August.
It's important to understand that we are able to make a range of accommodations to support all students throughout the camp, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have specific questions about how we can assist your young person.
Please note that with a number of excursions, camps and events planned, some families may be eligible to apply for CSEF funding support.
Please see the attached link for details: CSEF application.
Please note that any medication taken by students on-site is to be facilitated by First Aid. This is inclusive of prescribed medication as well as over-the-counter pharmaceuticals.
A kind reminder to please communicate any challenges with attendance to the school. This can be achieved by entering this information through Compass and adding a ‘parent note’ to communicate to teachers and staff why your child is absent. This information is vital to help us to meet your young person at their point of need and offer additional supports when required. Additionally, please communicate any planned absences to your child’s coordinator.
Note that planned extended absences need to be communicated to and confirmed by our Principal, Vincent Sicari, but this can be achieved via communications with your child’s coordinator.
Lots going on as always in the Junior School and the team would like to thank you all for your support.
