Parent News & Updates

School Uniform - Do's and Don'ts

At Suzanne Cory, we pride ourselves on the high standards of our students. Students wearing our uniform are a reflection of our school and our values of respect, aspiration and contribution. 

Therefore it is imperative that students wear the uniform correctly. Below is a guide to the uniform requirements.

If students do not follow these guidelines, families will be contacted. If students are found to repeatedly wear the school uniform incorrectly, they will be sent home.

Parent Contributions

Thank you to those families who have paid parent contributions. Your support assists us to provide a broad range of experiences which enhance student learning and engagement at Suzanne Cory High School.

Parent contributions can be made on the Compass portal. 

The below information outlines how you contributions support our school.

If you would like to spread the cost of your contributions, you can set up a payment plan. Payment Options are listed on the below flyer.

School Events and Excursions

School events, including excursions, incursions and sports appear on Compass. To consent and pay for events please refer to the link on Compass.

Most events require planning and confirmation of numbers for things such as payment to suppliers, catering, staffing and transport. Therefore it is extremely important that parents consent to events by the due date specified in the event.

Students are not to be dropped off at an event if consent has not been provided online. Please call the school if you have missed the deadline to discuss your options.

Students who do not have consent to attend an excursion are required to attend school for their usual classes.

Sickbay & Students Calling Parents

Parents and students are reminded that mobile phones are not permitted to be used whilst at school, unless permission has been given by the teacher for learning purposes. 

Students who are feeling ill should report to sickbay and the first aid staff will call parents to collect the child.

We kindly ask parents to remind your children to go to sick bay if not feeling well.

Please refer to the School's mobile phone policy for further information on the use of mobile phones within our school.
