Year 9 Camp

The Year 9 students will be heading off to Broken Hill next week. Here they will be exploring national parks, art museums and learning more about indigenous culture and tradition. They will also be learning a little bit more about independence and decision making. We are sure that they are going to love their time away and going to make lots of lovely memories. We wish them and the teachers a great time. 

School Uniform

Please ensure your child is in proper school uniform every day. The students look amazing when they are wearing their uniform correctly and with pride. Some reminders:

• Blazers are to be worn to and from school at all times.
• To keep warm in class students can wear a jumper and blazer.
• Parkas are an outdoor garment only.
• Skirt length must be to the knee.
• Sports uniform for all students during Terms 2 and 3 comprises tracksuit pants, sports top and sports jumper. Shorts can be worn underneath if required.
• Jewellery is limited to a watch and a plain stud or earring.
• Scarves are to be navy in colour.
• No make up is allowed. This includes nail polish, fake nails and fake lashes.

Naplan

Naplan is now over for 2022. The students coped amazingly well and should be congratulated on the mature attitude they displayed during this time.

End of Semester 1

The end of Semester 1 is fast approaching, and students may start feeling like there is a lot to do. It is important that students speak with their teachers if they need assistance or cannot meet a deadline. Please encourage your child to do so. At home, students should have a quiet space to learn and there should be a dedicated time put aside every night for learning. Students who say they have no learning to do at home should be reading and revising the day's content. To try and balance their lives, students should have some ‘down time’ so having a hobby outside of school is important also. A reminder that parents should be monitoring their child’s online time. Students should not have electronic devices disrupting their learning or their sleeping.
