Uniform

It is very important that students are wearing the correct academic uniform, including black leather shoes without any logos. The PE uniform is only to be worn on days that the students are timetabled to have PE. If for whatever reason students are not able to wear the correct uniform, a note must be provided from the parents/guardians, or a phone call must be made to the school to explain why the students are out of uniform for that day. If there are any issues with getting the correct uniform, please contact the Wellbeing team for assistance. The uniform policy can be found in the student's diary or on the school website. If you are not sure, please ask a member of the coordination team.

Class Equipment

It is expected that all students are taking the correct equipment to class and not returning to their lockers during class time or between classes. Students must be taking the following equipment to every class: a pencil case with various pens and pencils, their student diary, an exercise book and their device. If the students have any issues with their equipment, please contact the Junior Sub School

Progress Reports

The first lot of progress reports have been released for the year. Year-level coordinators will be contacting home over the next couple of weeks to organise meetings with families whose students have received a low average on their progress reports. These meetings aim to support the student in the classroom to achieve a better result in the next round of progress reports.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Parent teacher conferences have been opened for all parents to book in a time with the teachers, so that you can speak about your child’s progress. This is a great opportunity to not only discuss how your child is progressing in different classes but also build that positive relationship with the teachers. It would be great if you made a time, through Compass, to spend 5 minutes with your child’s teachers, and support the work that is being done both inside and outside the classroom.
