PARENT INFORMATION EVENINGS

A series of Parent Information evenings will be held in the Assembly Hall on the following dates:

• Year 8 - Thursday 1 March
• Year 9 - Monday 19 February
• Year 10 - Thursday 22 February
• Year 11 - Tuesday 27 February

These evenings will be conducted by your child's Student Management team. Each evening will include important information about camps, the academic and extracurricular program at that year level, attendance requirements, the academic and pastoral support provided to students by the College, etc.  Students need not attend these nights, as they are focussed on information for parents.

Parents of Year 7 students are invited to attend the following:

• Our 'Meet the Principal' afternoon tea, at 2:00pm in the Assembly Hall on Wednesday 14 February; and
• A Parent Information evening from 5:00pm the Assembly Hall on Wednesday 14 March; this will be conducted by the Student Management team, and attended by all teachers of Year 7 classes.  Further information about this event will be provided closer to the date.
