Illness
As winter is now approaching, the College has seen an increase in the number of absences due to illness. If your son is not well, please keep him at home so he can rest and recover.
School Uniform in Colder Weather
A reminder to all families that the senior jersey and sport hoodies are not part of the regular formal uniform. Despite the recent cold weather, students are encouraged to layer up underneath their uniform to keep warm if needed or wear their woollen College jumper or blazer. All students have been reminded of the importance of presenting well in our uniform at all times.
