Lockers

All Year 8 students are required to have a lock on their locker. Please make sure that if your child does not have a lock that you send one with them to school.

Timetable Changes for Semester 1

All students have been asked to familiarise themselves with their new timetables for Semester 1. 

If changes to their timetable are needed to be made, they have been asked to complete the following:

1. Collect a form from the Year 8 Office
2. Fill it out and have a parent/guardian sign it
3. Drop it back to the Year 8 Coordinators in the Year 8 Office before Friday Feb 9th.

Uniform

Students need to be in full school uniform. A reminder that in term 1 students are required to be wearing their Horsham College school hat when they are outside at recess and lunch, as well as in their PE classes. If your child does not have a hat, a new hat can be purchased from the Administration Office.

Absences

We want to see all students at school as much as practical, so if your child is away, please let us know by either contacting the college’s Absence Hotline 5382 1191 or via SEQTA Engage (Portals > Absentee Form). Alternatively you can send their Form Group Teacher an email or SEQTA message outlining your student’s absence.

We are very excited to be the Year 8 Coordinators for 2024 and are looking forward to working closely with the students, parents and guardians throughout the year.
