Hi All

Welcome back to all the students and parents. We have been getting ready for first week back of students for a while now and we hope they are settling in well. Students should have their timetables and should have met all their teachers by now. We have a bit more time now in morning homegroup/ pastoral care and most classes are concentrating on student’s organisation skills including diary use. Teachers will be sending home subject outlines and that should give you an idea of what they will be studying this term/semester. Please take an interest in what they are doing and sign the outline to indicate that you have seen them.

At this time of the year there is always much administration work and forms to be signed so please help by getting the forms back quickly. There is a consent booklet, and an Aquatics form which is very important as swimming carnival is Wednesday week 3. Reminder that this is a twilight carnival, and it would be very pleasing if many parents attended to cheer the swimmers on. If there are any medical conditions such as bee stings that students will need medication for, a reminder that a medical plan needs to be lodged at the school.

Also coming up are: Elevate Seminars for year 10s and 12s next week on Tuesday (week 2) and school photos on Wednesday week 4. If you look at the Sentral calendar you will see that term 1 has a lot of highlights and is as usual very busy. If you have any questions about these activities or anything to do with school please do not hesitate to contact us.
