Term 2 - Week 2 - 2023

Welcome back to all our students and families for what will no doubt be a big but short Term 2. Students have hit the ground running with getting back to business as we begin term 2 and a change of seasons. 

Anzac Day - Congratulations to our School Captains, Ollie Hier and Harriet Overman who read a letter from the front and laid a wreath at Horsham’s Anzac Commemorative service. Another wreath was laid on our Dimboola Road site adjacent to Maroske Hall. Lest We Forget.

Uniform - Term 2 brings colder weather and has given students and families a whole term to prepare. If you need to purchase any school uniform please head to Earle’s in Firebrace Street.  It is a requirement that students are in full school uniform whilst at school.

Student absences – please contact your child’s year level office if you know your child is going to be absent or they require a pass to be collected for an appointment.

Mobile phones and smart watches can be left at home or in a student’s locker for the duration of the school day.

Social Media Addiction

Social Media Addiction Article is a fantastic resource that provides parents/guardians with much needed information on the disruptions that our devices can cause to our lives.  We understand that these apps are designed to be addictive and our teenagers are among the first generation that have not experienced life before the internet and therefore social media is part of their everyday routine. This article discusses research and discusses overcoming addiction. It is a really good read.

End of term exams - As we work through Term 2 we would like to remind students and families early on that at the end of Term 2 will see exams conducted for our year 11 and 12 students. This will begin in week 7, just before Semester changes over. If your child is feeling apprehensive or worried, can they please take the time to book in to see well being or Year level coordinators.
