Principal's Message
It has been a busy and eventful four weeks, as a community, we have achieved some exciting milestones together.
The commitment and resilience from our students and our teachers this term has been nothing short of remarkable and look forward to the next six weeks which include welcoming our Year 7 2021 students.
This week Year 12 students will reach an important milestone, ending this chapter before taking on the challenges and joys of their next pathway.
Mobile Phone Policy Changes
At a community engagement meeting with parents and the broader community on 5 November it was unanimously agreed to implement the banning of mobile phones Years 7 - 10 from Term 1 2021. We are currently reviewing access for Years 11 and 12.
From Term 1, 2021 there will be a new mobile phone policy.
The policy means phones brought to school must be switched off and stored securely in a YONDR pouch.
Book Packs - Order for 2021
Book packs for all year groups are now ready to order for 2021.
