General School News

We would like to announce the Head of Year positions for 2024 and look forward to the exciting year ahead with this fantastic team:
- Year 7: Tim CHAPMAN

- Year 9: Andy WINTER
- Year 10: John CAHILL
- Year 11: Saripha CURRO
- Year 12: Sophie MCQUEEN
Congratulations to all award recipients acknowledged at the Presentation Evening and Sports Awards. It was a wonderful week of celebration in our school community.
Students are expected to attend all school days in the final week of school. The community days are an opportunity to build and strengthen relationships with peers and staff. We look forward to celebrating the year that has been with each year level from year 7 - 10. Our Year 11 students have commenced year 12 learning contact for next year and missing days during this week will jeopardise future learnings.
We conclude our year with the Christmas Liturgy on Friday in Period 1 for all students and staff. This special occasion is to share our St Vincent de Paul fundraising efforts with the community, farewell staff, and students.
Students will be asked to empty their lockers on the last day of school. If locks are still present by 3.15pm on Friday, 24 November, the lock will have to be cut, and belongings will be placed at the main reception of the College.

Welcome to Week 8, which marks the final week of Year 7!
