Environment week
Environment week runs from Monday 13 December to Thursday 17 December. There are no schedule classes. The school offers an alternative program where students can assist with environment duties until lunchtime and view a film in the afternoon.
- Students are to dress in casual clothes, with enclosed footwear (eg runners). Clothing should be suitable for completing tasks around the college (under teacher supervision).
- Each day will commence at 9am and students will be dismissed at 3pm.
- Students are to report to Room 2 each morning at 8.55am.
- The canteen will not be open so students will need to bring their own recess snack and lunch. Students will not be permitted to leave school grounds to purchase food.
- Recess (10.15am to 10.30am) and lunch (Noon to 1pm) will be held in the canteen quadrangle.

You may be eligible for up to $200 to put towards the cost of your child’s participation in physical activities.

Under the program, children may be eligible to receive up to $200 to help with the cost of membership and registration fees, uniforms, and equipment.
The program also provides a special consideration stream to support children residing in care services as well as temporary or provisional visa holders, undocumented migrants or international students.
