Term 4 Hat Reminder

A reminder to all students that the school hat policy is in place for Term 4. All students are expected to wear their school hats at recess and lunchtime. Students who do not have their hats will be directed to remain under the shade sails for sun protection.

Replacement school hats can be purchased from the administration office.

Year 8 Camp – Week 5

Year 8 camp is coming up in Week 5, from Wednesday to Friday! We are looking forward to students enjoying this opportunity to build friendships, try new activities and create lasting memories.

Students who are not attending camp will be provided with an alternative timetable at school.

We hope all Year 8 students have a fantastic week, whether they are attending camp or participating in the alternative program!
