Future Makers

Empowering Our Year 9 Students

Good luck to our Year 9 students who are heading off on the Future Makers program with the Outdoor School! This initiative is designed to support them as they navigate the transition into their senior years. Over two weeks, students will explore their strengths, build confidence, and take ownership of their individual challenges.

A huge thank you to our dedicated staff for guiding and inspiring our students on this journey. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this experience will have on their growth and learning.

The Power of Kindness

One of our core school values is Kindness. A simple act of kindness has the power to create a positive ripple effect throughout our school community. We encourage students to embrace kindness by expressing gratitude, offering a helping hand, or sharing a friendly smile with a peer or teacher. Small gestures can make a big difference!

At home, we invite families to have conversations about empathy and the importance of treating others with care and respect. Together, let’s continue fostering a culture of compassion that not only strengthens our school community but also helps shape responsible and caring young individuals.

Lunch Passes

Students are expected to remain at school throughout the day. Below is the process for obtaining a lunch pass, reinforcing our partnership with parents and supporting our on-campus Café.

Short-Term Lunch Passes

• Written consent (email or note; Compass permissions are not accepted) is required for students to leave the school grounds for lunch.
• Students must return promptly to school after purchasing lunch to reconnect with peers and be supervised by staff.
• Short-term lunch passes are valid for that day only.

Long-Term Lunch Passes

• Year 12 students may apply for a long-term lunch pass as a privilege, requiring a completed form.
• Parents wishing to arrange a long-term pass should meet with the Student Engagement Leader (Shantelle Stimson) to discuss its suitability and encourage students to enjoy the benefits of staying on campus.
