Orientation – National ANZAC Centre, Torndirrup National Park and Albany Whale Word

Welcome to our new students and parents.  The Orientation program was very positive and students have settled in extremely well. This year we visited the National Anzac Centre, Torndirrup National Park and Albany Whale World.  Our Year 12 student prefects demonstrated their leadership skills and were alongside staff cooking, supporting and running some activities for the students to get to know one another.  Thank you to our young leaders and to the residential and teaching staff who participated in the program.

Tutoring and Homework Help

There is a Facebook group that you can join to access local tutor information.  Please contact the College if you would like more information regarding this.

 

Laundry

Could parents please remind their students to turn their washing in the right way, socks etc and sort it into the bags provided in the laundry.  Tracy, Suzanne and Marie do an amazing job in the laundry so reminders to students by parents would be greatly appreciated.    We welcome donations of the College uniform (in good condition) as students leave the College.  Clothing without name tags will be displayed on the table for collection when the laundry is staffed, otherwise it will be packed away until the following shift.  A record of lost clothing is kept in the laundry.  If students have lost an item of clothing, please report it to the laundry staff.

 

College Uniforms

There are second hand uniforms available in the laundry and via our Facebook group WACoA Denmark – Buy and Sell – Second-hand uniforms. 

 

Health and Wellbeing

The College continues to provide support to students requiring doctor and other health related appointments. Where possible these appointments are made outside of school hours to minimise disruption to the school program. For any follow up appointments with specialists the College asks parents and carers where possible to make these during school holidays.  Please contact the College if your child has any medical imaging needs before appointments are made in Albany.  When students are ill in residence the College will provide immediate care and will arrange necessary medical appointments. To minimise the spread of illness all students who are unwell are required to remain in their rooms, eat after all other students and minimise contact with other students until recovered. If students are unable to participate in the learning program for more than one day the College will contact families to discuss alternative care arrangements.

 

School Nurse

Please contact the College if you would like more information regarding appointments.

 

School Psychologist

Bree Crocket is our Registered School Psychologist for 2022; Bree will be on campus on Thursday and every second Friday for students who would like to make an appointment.  Bree can help students with strategies for settling into boarding life, managing relationships, study habits and exam stress.  We would like to encourage students to use this valuable service. Parents can contact Bree on a Thursday at the College.

 

Travel Arrangements for Home Weekend and End of Term

The College will organise travel arrangements (bus tickets) for the home weekend and end of term; please advise the school or your child of the travel arrangements for the home weekend.  The College books outward travel for home weekend and the end of Term 1, the return ticket is booked by the parent/guardian and must be booked to arrive early afternoon preferably into Denmark; late arrivals into Albany will incur a pick up fee  of $100.00; all other travel arrangements throughout the term are to be arranged by the parent/guardian.

 

Vehicle Forms

Prior to any student vehicle/motor cycle being brought to the College please ensure all forms are completed and up-to-date and that any vehicle or motorbike that comes on to site has been approved.  Quad bikes will not be approved as part of our recreational motor cycle program.
