P&F News

A large contingent of Year Seven families gathered on the school grounds last Sunday afternoon for our Year Seven Meet & Mingle.

 

It was great to see many old and new faces.  It gave the attendees the chance to put names on the faces of the students that their children have been talking about for the last few weeks. I would also like to thank Principal Mr Mathew Irving and Mr Jordan Owenell, Deputy Principal - Head of Secondary, for attending and speaking to the families.  Further thanks to Mr Darryl Hancock, Assistant Coordinator, in his capacity of Year Seven Representative, for organising the event and to Chef Nick and his team for the delicious selection of finger foods that the kids (and adults) ploughed through.

 

By now, you should have received your link to the new WhatsApp chat groups that we have set up for each year group. These groups will be used by the P&F to send information to families and for families within each year group to organise chat-ups.
