Director of Students Report

Welcome back to Term 3. We have already been busy with excursions and sport and students have resettled quickly, many into new electives and classes.

Organisational Items:

Bus Travellers:

• There are no school buses running on Monday due to Sheepvention
• Students who live in town must catch Bus 8 and 14 (fare paying - $1.40) to go home or to HILAC for sport – you are not permitted to travel on shuttle buses from Monivae
• Bus passes to friend’s houses and sports training etc still require 2 day’s notice, through the Front Office – remember there are still no spare seats on the Glen/Dunkeld bus to access
• Please remain seated and you must wear your seatbelts at all times

Uniform:

• Full winter uniform is to be worn, including your blazer to and from school and at Assemblies
• White socks are to be worn with PE uniforms – grey/black socks under winter pants and navy socks/tights with kilts
• There are to be no hoodies worn under PE jackets at any time

Lockers:

• All students are responsible for a lock to always secure their locker door - and it must be engaged when you are not standing at your locker.
• People move through the basement constantly and a locked locker prevents issues arising.

Drop Off and Pick Up zones – with the increase in vehicle traffic:

• All students who are driven to/collected from school use the Monivae drop and go zone near the pedestrian crossing at the entrance to the basement.
• No student is to enter or exit a car near the Food Tech rooms or the bottom of the Excel wing.
• If parents are collecting students from both Monivae and St Mary’s, please use our preferred option of the Chevalier car park or if there is limited space in the Monivae/St Mary’s quick pick-up zone.

Once again this term will be full of opportunities for our students, including sports, Reflection Days, Mission Fair Day and more, and I encourage them to pursue their interests and make the most of these offerings.
