Uniform

It is very important that the students are wearing the correct academic uniform, including black leather shoes without any logos. The PE uniform is only to be worn on days that the students are timetabled to have PE. If, for whatever reason, the students are not able to wear their correct uniform, a note must be provided from the parents/guardians, or a phone call must be made to the school to explain why the students are out of uniform for that day. If there are any issues with getting the correct uniform, please contact the Well-Being team for assistance. The uniform policy can be found in the student's diary or on the school website. If you are not sure, please ask a member of the coordination team. 

Class Equipment

            It is expected that all students are taking the correct equipment to class and not returning to their lockers during class time or in between classes. Students must be taking the following equipment to every class: a pencil case with various pens and pencils, their student diary, an exercise book and their device. If the students have any issues with their equipment, please contact the Junior Sub School.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

            Parent teacher conferences have been opened for all parents to book in a time with the teacher that you would like to speak to about your child’s progress. This is a great opportunity to not only discuss how your child is progressing in different classes, but also build that positive relationship with the teachers. It would be great if you made a time through Compass to spend 5 minutes with your child’s teachers and support the work that is being done both inside and outside the classroom.

The Junior Sub School look forward to a positive last few weeks of the term.

Year 7 Science Classes

Lots of fun has been had in the Year 7 science classes as we start the term off with our introduction to secondary school science. Students have learnt about lab safety, report writing and had lots of hands-on opportunities to develop their inquisitive minds!
