YEAR 7 & 8 END OF YEAR ACTIVITIES
We hope our Year 7 and 8 students enjoy the upcoming end of year activities arranged for them. This is a great way for students and staff to celebrate the end of another busy year and spend time with each other building relationships. A reminder that activities start 9.30am am each day and end at 2.30pm on Thursday and Friday this week.
Can we please ask all students to cross at the designated crossing zone, at the start and end of day as well as arriving or leaving school throughout the day. McKinnon Road is now busier than ever, so we ask all our community to take extra care, particularly during the building works that will continue next year.
Thistle yearbooks have now been distributed to all students. If your child did not collect one they are available to be picked up from the General Office on Monday 18 December.
PRESENTATION NIGHT REHEARSALS & END OF YEAR
Due to preparations for Presentation Night, Year 9 classes concluded on Tuesday 12 December at 12:30pm; this will be the final day of scheduled Year 9 classes (with many Year 9 students participating in the Duke of Edinburgh hike for the remainder of that week). Year 7 & 8 students will attend end-of-year activities on Wednesday 14 & Thursday 15 December. As teachers will be undertaking professional development and planning for 2017 on 18, 19 & 20 December, these final three days of the school year are student-free days.
LIBRARY RETURNS AND LOCKERS
All students need to retain their combination lock for their lockers. The lock must be taken home and brought with them on the first day of school in 2018. A reminder to all students that the entire contents of their locker should be cleared out by Tuesday 19 December. We need an opportunity to clean all the empty lockers so that they are ready for redistribution in 2018. Students should also ensure that any items they have borrowed from the Library or Technology Office now need to be returned.
THANK YOU
We thank all families for your support of our teachers and curriculum programs throughout 2017; we wish you all a safe and restful summer break, and look forward to working with you again in 2018.
