As we say thank you and  goodbye to our captains for 2019,  we celebrate and announce the new ASC Student Leaders.

 

We had an assembly to recognise the 26 year 11 students who put themselves forward as candidates for leadership roles. 

 

Our current Captains offered some salient advice in the shape of ‘recipes for success’ and we were joined by Professor Todd Walker who gave a fantastic speech in relation to leadership.

Teen Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health well-being is important to us all. Our school counselling team will be presenting and facilitating a Teen Mental Health First Aid course this term for Year 8 students to learn how to provide mental health first aid to their friends. 

 

The course is taught over 3 sessions on non-consecutive days. More info on flyers below. 

Uniform

The school is committed to working with students and families to ensure compliance with the school uniform.  We would ask for your help and support in ensuring that your son/daughter has the correct uniform items.

 

The new school uniform has many options and has been designed to comfortable and appropriate for all school activities. We are continuing to see black tights/active wear being worn to school, in addition to jeans and t-shirts. These items are NOT part of the endorsed uniform and we will be seeking your assistance to ensure that these items are not being worn to school. 

 

If you are experiencing difficulty acquiring the necessary pieces of clothing, I would encourage you to make contact with the school as soon as possible so that we can assist where necessary. ASC has had generous support from the P&C to purchase uniform items for families who are unable to meet the costs of the uniform.
