From the Coordinators
Security
All Year 7 and 8 students, please ensure that you make every effort to keep your valuables safe. If you do not secure your lock on your allocated locker, you are putting your valuables at risk. Please keep phones, money, wallets etc in your locked locker at all times.
Uniform
Uniform is looking great! Keep up the good work. Remember, we have white socks in the Junior School Office for you to change into if you are wearing the wrong socks. ‘Hoodies' are not to be worn at school at all; you will be asked to remove it if you come to school wearing one.
Open door policy
Please remember that we have an 'open door policy’ in Junior School. Students - do not hesitate to come and talk to us before school, recess, lunchtime or after school.
Parents and Guardians, please feel free to make an appointment with one of us, send us a message on Compass or call with any questions or concerns you may have.
