From Acting Deputy Principal Kirsty Allan

As we are almost at the halfway point of the term it is great to look back and see what we have achieved during these five weeks as a College Community. There have been exciting learning opportunities at each year level and across a range of subject domains. We have had Maths Competitions, Humanities week, VCAL Career/VET expo, Indonesian Incursions, a wide range of sporting opportunities and much more. We are currently undertaking leadership interviews for our students moving into 2023 and so many of our students are stepping outside of their comfort zone to develop their leadership skills and to guide the direction of the College through next year and beyond.

As we know it is through engagement in the activities and programs offered here at the College that helps to form the education of the whole person, or as we like to call it ‘Cura Personalis.’ Congratulations to our students on their commitment, enthusiasm and involvement.

In terms of housekeeping I would like to remind students that masks are required when travelling on the school buses. It is also important that parents are making contact with the front office if/when your child/children are unable to attend the College. It is a requirement that students who are leaving the College grounds during the day have parental consent to do so prior to signing out (ie. for medical appointments etc). Finally in the coming weeks we will be focusing on uniform compliance - students are reminded that all uniform expectations are available in their school planners and also on the College website. Of particular note is jewellery (piercings) and undergarments (ie. long sleeve tops under sports tshirts).

Updating the College’s Policies and Procedures is important within the day to day context of the College and I wanted to make our College Community aware of an updated policy in relation to Negotiated Transfers, Suspension and Expulsion. You can find the policies here and for your future reference they are publicly available on the College Website.

I am looking forward to the remaining five weeks of term and the opportunities that will be present for, and with, our students.
