Did your Year 7 or Year 10 child receive their school-based vaccinations this year?
If they missed out on getting important vaccinations, speak with your GP or local council immunisation service about how they can catch up and stay well. Learn why it’s important:www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/immunisation-in-secondary-schools
Change to school kilt
Please be aware that the current style of Winter kilt is no longer being manufactured and we have had to make a change moving forward.
In line with many other schools, we are now changing to a skirt style. Three options were made available to us, and the uniform committee have considered cost, washability and comfort and have unanimously agreed on a new style.
The current school colours (navy blue, maroon and yellow stripe) and material will be very similar to our existing style. Along with fewer, larger pleats, there is a zip pocket on the side of the skirt, button and zip closures for putting the skirt on and an option to adjust the size along the back of the skirt.
Please know that our current kilt is still able to be worn and will be for a number of years to come.
Should you have any queries, please contact the uniform shop or Natalie Holt, Director of Students.
2022 FEES
A reminder to all fee payers that 2022 fees should now be paid in full unless previous arrangements have been approved.
Fee payers with direct debit deductions are reminded that these will continue over the Christmas break unless the College is notified in writing to adjust individual schedules.
It also may be necessary to increase fortnightly or monthly deductions for 2023 fees. This calculation and adjustment can only be made by the fee payer and is not automatic by the College.
