We wish the team well with all their events and a special thanks to Mr and Mrs Green, the Bisley Family, Hannah Bridge, the Knox Family and other accompanying staff for their commitment, without their generous contributions and support we would not be able to participate in these events.

Encouraging Good Hygiene
With the weather starting to cool off a little, as Autumn begins, colds and flu become more widespread. With the added threat of the COVID-19 virus this year, we are encouraging good hygiene practices for the College Community. We are promoting regular hand washing and Hygiene stations have been set up for visitors to the College. Please encourage your children with good hygiene practices and if they are unwell we ask you keep them home.

Emails from the College
We have become aware that emails sent from the College to addresses with the extention of '@live' and 'hotmail' are ending up in 'Junk Mail'. We regularly communicate with families via email. If you are not receiving regular emails from the College (and not just the Sneak Peek), the first step is to check your 'Junk Mail' to ensure your email filter is not placing them in junk. If you still have no emails from us, please call the College so we can help rectify the issue.
Meet Harvin
Harvin is a new addition to TCC, and is assisting students with their Community and Family Studies. He is being cared for by our lovely senior students and can be as demanding as any new baby. Just before this photo was taken Harvin had been changed and Jasmine said " He has been crying for an hour".
Taree Christian College Community Health Audit
This year we will undertake our third survey so we can continue to serve and improve on what we already do. A link to the survey will be sent to families next Monday 16th March, with a closing date at the end of Term 1 being 9th April 2020. We hope you will take the time to complete the survey so we may serve you and your children better.
