2019 Calendar

Please note that a slightly revised Term Dates summary for 2019 accompanies this Newsletter.

The changes relate to the start of Term Four and Melbourne Cup weekend.

This year, over seventy students were away on the Monday of the Cup weekend and, in reviewing the year, it was felt that avoiding such a situation next year was important.  Equally, every day when teachers have access to VCE classes is vital and Cup weekend is after VCE classes officially finish.  A slightly earlier start to Term Four may allow some classes a little more teacher contact.

Boarders will now return on Sunday 6 October with Term Four commencing on Monday 7 October.  Student/Parent/Teacher meetings will still occur on Monday 7 October. 

Monday 4 November will be a student free day, allowing many boarders the chance for an extra long weekend.  Please note that VCE examinations will occur on Monday 4 November and the boarding house will remain open over the long weekend.
