YEAR 7 

Year 7 Key Information:

• Welcome back to Term 4! I hope all families have had a chance to relax over the break and are feeling well-equipped to face our final term of Year 7. It was wonderful to see so many Year 7 students excelling academically and across our extra-curricular areas last term. I look forward to seeing students' continued success this term, starting with our College Swimming Carnival this Wednesday.
   
• Student Belongings - I cannot stress enough the importance of students being responsible for their belongings. All student belongings (including hats when not used) should be kept in lockers and secured with a working lock.
