Congratulations on the way many of you have transitioned back to school after the summer holidays. Hopefully by now you have the following things organised for the school year:

• A 2021 NGSC diary which includes several great wellbeing tips and other new features.
• A timetable with all your Semester 1 subjects
• A locker and school combination lock
• All the required learning materials including novels and appropriate calculators
• A technological device (iPad, Chromebook or Mac) that is connected to the school server
• Your appropriate academic and PE uniform
• Access to Google Classroom pages
• You know the names of your teachers.

If for some reason you need some further assistance please contact your relevant coordinator at the Middle Sub School Office. This year we have some new and familiar faces joining us in the team.

Middle School Attendance Officer: Pauline Carra

Year 9: Josh Vassallo (Coordinator) & Kim-Ling Nguyen (Assistant Coordinator)

Throughout middle school we will continue to have high expectations for effort, application and attitude. We will continue to monitor students attendance and General Performance Averages through their progress reports. Please join us in this journey and don’t hesitate to contact any member of the team should you require any assistance. Please also work with subject teachers should you have concerns about a specific subject or homework task.
