Vaping Webinars

There are two vaping webinars in the upcoming weeks.  

The first is run through the P&C Federation of NSW and will be on Thursday 10 November from 7.00 pm - 8.00 pm.  This webinar will feature panelists from NSW Health and the NSW Department of Education and will help parents and carers understand more about the facts on the health risks of vaping.  For more information, and to register, click on the link below.

The second webinar  is run by the Council of Catholic Schools Parents and will be held on Thursday 17 November. Further details below.

Boxercise for Fitness

Boxercise is back on Thursday and Friday mornings, starting at 7.30 am.  

A special invitation is extended to any student who would like to take the opportunity improve their fitness and general well-being.  I look forward to seeing as many students as possible to join us on Thursday and/or Friday morning at 7.30 am this week.

REMEMBER:  HEALTHY BODY = HEALTHY MIND
