Dear Parents, Guardians, Staff and Students
EARLY ROLLOVER TO 2020
On Monday 2nd December our students will start rollover into 2020 classes. At this time of year there is, inevitably, some “fine tuning” of classes for 2020. These issues are usually able to be resolved by the end of the first week of rollover.
Rollover for this year’s Year 10 and 11 students will end at 3.10pm on Friday December 5th and students currently in Years 7, 8 and 9 will continue until 3.10pm on Friday December 12th. Preholiday activities will begin on Monday December 15th.
SECOND HAND UNIFORM
The school has a limited amount of second hand uniform available. On Tuesday 10th December we will be selling the second hand uniform in classrooms PA7 and PA8, located just behind the Performing Arts area, between 12.00 noon until approximately 4.00pm.
We will also be selling second hand uniform on Thursday 23rd January 2020 from 9.30am till around 3.00pm.
STUDENTS EXITING THE COLLEGE
Please note that any student exiting from the College (excluding Year 12) needs to complete an exit form which can be obtained from the Reception. If you are under 17 and not going to a government school you will also need to complete the exit papers and have an exit interview with Ms Farrington-Williams.
AND a reminder to all students that once you exit the college your Compass logon and your gmail email account will be made inactive. If there are any reports on Compass you wish to keep please make sure you print these reports before the end of the school year.
