Welcome back - We want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the incredible job you all did in moving from face to face teaching into Remote and Flexible learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Congratulations on completing 9 weeks of Remote Learning, You have upheld the college values of resilience and community spirit with pride. Thank you for playing your part in controlling the spread.

Now we face some changes and new challenges as we return to on site classes. We recognise that some of you may be feeling anxious or uncertain as you return to school and that’s okay. Remember you have a wonderful wellbeing team and great YLCs, SSLs and teachers who can assist you in easing some of those concerns. So reach out if you need to.
