Winter uniform

Please note all students should be correctly attired in their College winter uniform for this term. This includes students wearing their blazer to school and Homeroom as well as wearing it as they depart the College each day. All students are also required to correctly wear the tie, ensuring the top button of their shirt is covered by the tie. Male students are also required to tuck their shirt in as part of their winter uniform. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to demonstrate pride in our College and a sense of belonging to our school community.

2022 National Schools Constitutional Convention

Congratulations to Year 12 Politics and Law students Will Everett, Zoe Furness, James Green, and Kady Wall, who have been selected to represent Western Australia at the 27th National Schools Constitutional Convention (NSCC) next month. They were selected from over 800 students from government, independent and Catholic schools, most of whom took part in conventions in their home state or territory. Will, Zoe, James and Kady took part in the Western Australia State Constitutional Convention last year – and impressed the panelists with their ability to articulate difficult concepts and present new perspectives in discussion.

It is a wonderful opportunity for these students to hear from expert speakers and learn about constitutional reform. We congratulate Will, Zoe, James and Kady on an outstanding achievement and look forward to hearing from them about their experience at the 2022 NSCC.
