Pemberton Mountain Bike Trip

Residential staff are planning a day trip to the mountain bike tracks in Pemberton, I will provide further information regarding this upcoming excursion once we have the date confirmed.  We visited the Pemberton track in Term 1 and thoroughly enjoyed the day trip.  Keep an eye on our Facebook page when we are running our excursion as we try to get photos of the activities as and when they are happening. 

Country Week

Students and staff have commenced Country Week training, this is very exciting as we have been unable to attend Country Week since 2019.  We made it as far as Kojonup last year but Covid-19 thwarted our sporting ambitions and we had to turn around.  We hope to make it this year.  If Country Week students would like to remain in residence overnight on the training nights, come and have chat with me so that we can work this one out.   

REACH – Installation

If you have any issues with Reach, please email me and I can reset your username and password kelli.gillies@education.wa.edu.au.  We have found that when the app receives an update many users can no longer log in. Let us know so we can sort this out for you.

Tutoring and Homework Help

There is a Facebook group that you can join to access local tutor information.  Please contact the College if you would like more information regarding this.

Laundry

Second hand clothing is available in the laundry please check with the ladies before you buy anything new as we may be able to swap clothing sizes.  We welcome donations of the College uniform (in good condition) as students leave.  Clothing without name tags will be displayed on the table for collection when the laundry is staffed, otherwise it will be packed away until the following shift.  A record of lost clothing is kept in the laundry so if students have lost an item of clothing, please report it to the laundry staff.

College Uniforms

There are second hand uniforms available in the laundry and via our Facebook group WACoA Denmark – Buy and Sell – Second-hand uniforms 

Travel Arrangements for Home Weekend and End of Term

The College will organise travel arrangements (bus tickets) for the home weekend, and end of term. The College books outward travel for home weekend and the end of Term 2, the return ticket is booked by the parent/guardian and must be booked to arrive early afternoon, preferably into Denmark. Late arrival will incur a pick up fee if the student is arriving into Albany of $100.00. All other travel arrangements throughout the term are to be arranged by the parent/guardian.
