Year 12 Class of 2025 Photo - Thursday 1 May 2025

The Year 12 Class of 2025 photo will be taken this Thursday 1 May.  All students must arrive at the Champagnat Centre at 7.30 am. This is a compulsory event and all year 12 students are required to attend. 

Students must ensure they are wearing full winter uniform including a blazer and that haircuts and personal grooming standards meet the College expectations.

For instructions on how to order the photo, please refer to email from Damien Zoomers dated 23 April.  

Afternoon Detentions

From the start of term 2 and moving forward, afternoon detentions will be conducted on a Monday afternoon from 3:15-4:15pm. 

As a formal sanction, students issued with an afternoon detention are expected to attend on the afternoon indicated. It is an expectation that this takes priority of other engagements, whether that be school or other. In the rare instance a student is unable to attend, parents need to communicate this with the member of staff who issued the detention and negotiate an alternate afternoon that week. 

The decision to place a student on an afternoon detention is not taken lightly, and there are robust processes surrounding this to ensure appropriate communications with families occur. Families are asked to ensure their son understands the significance of the situation and meets the required commitment as a priority as failure to comply may result in a student facing further sanctions, including temporary suspension from co-curricular activities until the detention is completed, and/or an escalation to a Saturday detention for non-compliance with College expectations and processes. 

Student Attendance 

The College requires all absentees to be communicated via Parent Orbit. This includes all day absences, early departures and late arrivals. Instructions for adding an attendance record are set out below:  

Student Absentees - Late Arrivals

Students are required to be at school before the first bell rings at 8:30am each morning.  

Parents are required to advise the College if their son will be arriving late for school via Parent Orbit. 

Students who arrive late are required to sign in at Student Admin before going to class. Parents will receive an SMS message if the student presents without an acceptable reason for being late.  

Note: all morning training sessions finish before 8:00am, giving students ample time to change, eat and arrive at their pastoral group on time. 

Students arriving late throughout the day are required to sign in at Student Admin before going to class. 

Student Absentees - Early Departures 

Parents are required to advise the College if their son will be leaving school early via Parent Orbit. 

For students in Years 7 to 12 who are departing the College throughout the day, students must sign out at Student Admin before departing. If you would like to collect your son, please meet him at Tower Reception.  

For students in Years 5 to 6, parents are required to come to Primary Reception to collect their son.
