Year 12 Jerseys: A Symbol of Status and Leadership 

Last week our new Year 12 students received their eagerly-awaited Year 12 jerseys! These jerseys are not just a piece of clothing but a symbol of the commitment, resilience, and leadership our seniors bring to our school community. 

To our Year 12 students: Remember, your jersey is not just a sign of your status in the school but also a representation of the responsibility you carry. With great power comes great responsibility. We would like to remind you that these jerseys may only be worn to school on Mondays and Fridays. 

  

Let's wear them with pride and lead by example! 

Student ID Cards 

This week all students in the Senior School have been emailed a survey to determine which students require a replacement Student ID card. Students are required to complete this survey by the Friday 10 November. Replacement cards will be issued in the coming weeks. This term we are deploying and trialling a new system for tracking student attendance in key locations using barcode scanners. These locations include the Reception Office, Library and Health Clinic. In the coming weeks students will be given barcode labels which are to be fixed to their Student ID Card. Students will be required to carry their ID card for scanning in and out of key locations. This system will be trialled for the remaining weeks of Term 4. A successful trial will see the implementation and expansion of the barcode system in 2024.
