LOST PROPERTY
Our Lost Property area at Student Services is VERY full! If you have lost spectacles, school uniform items, drink bottles, toys, books, casual clothing ... there is a very high chance it is in our lost property.
Parents of Junior school students - please be reassured that we are actively clearing out items from the Junior School lost property area, hallways & playground. We are returning any named items direct to the student and un-labelled items brought down to student services
We strongly encourage all parents to ensure that ALL uniform items are clearly labelled on both tags.
Thank you

NEW CALEDONIA TRIP 2023
Thank you for the great interest shown in our New Caledonia trip for next year. We are pleased to announce that, even though we have more than a week to go until the cut off date for signing up, the list of students is now complete, which means that we will not be taking any more deposits. From now on, anyone who wishes to sign up for the trip will be placed on a waiting list. In the meantime, we will contact everyone involved to talk about the following steps to be taken in preparation of our trip.
NEW AUSTRALIAN FIRE DANGER RATING SYSTEM
From 1 September 2022, Australia’s Fire Danger Rating System will be improved and simplified, to make it easier for you to make decisions to stay safe on days of fire danger risk.
The move to a simpler system is backed by improvements in science, which will mean we can better predict areas of greater risk on days of fire danger.
Across the country fire and emergency services are applying nationally consistent colours, signs and terminology. This means that wherever you go in Australia, and whatever the season or fuels you’re surrounded with, you can understand the level of threat and what you need to do to stay safe.
To read the brochure on the new ratings, please refer to the attachment.
