COLLEGE 

UPDATE

END OF TERM ASSESSMENTS: 

All year levels will be launching into end of term assessment by now. If you haven’t discussed study routines and maintaining balance with your child, now is the time! Study shouldn’t be all-consuming, but students do need to make a plan of when they will fit study around sporting, social and part-time job commitments.

CATCH-UP SCHOOL PHOTOS

Catch-up school photos will take place on Monday. If your child still needs to have their school photo taken, please ensure they attend on Monday. These photos are used for school ID cards and other important documents so it is very important students are in full formal uniform and that all grooming standards are adhered to.

E-SCOOTER MISUSE 

We are still witnessing students misusing e-scooters in and around the College. Whilst they are a great option for getting to school on time, we have had a number of near misses with cars. We also have concerns that some of our students may be in breach of Queensland Transport Law. 

If you have not discussed these laws with your child, please click the following link and discuss, as a family, what it means for students on e-scooters: https://bit.ly/QLDGovernmentScooterRules

NO E-SCOOTERS ARE TO ENTER THE COLLEGE VIA SUNBIRD DRIVE 

Our main area of concern is our Sunbird Drive entrance (Trade Training Centre carpark), due to the tight footpath and heavy traffic. Therefore in order to mitigate risk to students safety from next week students will not be permitted to enter with e-scooters from the Sunbird Drive.
