Uniform

We would like to remind everyone that wearing school uniform is always mandatory during school hours. We have noticed an increase in the number of students disregarding this rule.

Wearing school uniform is not only a requirement, but it is also a way to represent our school and community with pride. It promotes a sense of belonging and unity among students.

We understand that personal expression is important, but school uniform provides an equaliser and creates a professional atmosphere that is conducive to learning. It also eliminates the stress of choosing what to wear every morning, which can be a distraction from academic pursuits.

If you require support for any reason in obtaining uniform, please contact the Year 11 team.

Absences

If your child is absent we request that you contact the school either via the Absence Hotline on 5382 1191, a signed note or SEQTA message. Form group teachers will be in touch if your child has an unexplained absence to ensure your child’s attendance is up to date.

Science

Year 11 biology students are learning about body systems. They have enjoyed dissecting piglets and kidneys to visualise different structures and how they work.
