Staff are currently completing the semester 1 reports for students. These are scheduled to be available to parents/guardians and students on Friday 24th June. A Parent Teacher Interview session is scheduled for Tuesday 19th July, coinciding with the return of students for Term 3.

Student Declaration Permission Online

Information will be provided via email to parents/guardians of Year 12 students in relation to the Student Declaration Permissions and the process by which this will be completed. Once the information is received please discuss this with your child so that they are then prepared to complete the process during weeks 8-10 of this term.

Jewellery

Earlier this year students and staff reviewed the expectations and requirements of what jewellery was acceptable for the College's learning environment, along with it's reputation and image. Following the discussions and endorsement of the agreed amendments Mr Watt provided information and updates to the new standards and expectations. The excerpt below is a reminder of the agreed upon standards in relation to the wearing of jewellery at the College. Students and parents are asked to familiarise themselves with these and are asked to comply with them.

Whilst students are wearing their College uniform, they need to understand that they are representing the College and contributing to the reputation and image. Expectations around acceptable jewellery are based on reducing risk of accidents on Farm and Trades, and maintaining the respectful and conservative image of the College.

Standards

Maximum of two piercings in each ear- a conservative look will be expected (sleepers and studs are acceptable (hoops, bars and spacers are not).
Maximum of one nose piercing- must be discrete small stud only
In Trades and Farm, ear piercings must be discrete small studs which do not pose risk of entanglement.
Maximum of one ring per hand. In Trades and Farm, no rings to be worn.
Bracelets and wrist bands must be discrete and limited to one per arm. In Trades and Farm, bracelets and wristbands must not be worn.
Watches need to be constructed to break in the event of entanglement.
Necklaces must be discrete and not extend beyond clothes. In Trades and Farm, necklaces are not to be worn.
Medic Alert bracelets/necklaces are acceptable.

Anything else presents a safety or health hazard and/or is inconsistent with the College image and the student will be asked to remove the item. Students who consistently breech this policy will have their jewellery confiscated and their status may be changed. The Principal reserves the right to intervene in the event of dispute.

Stay safe, look after each other and have a great weekend!
