Senior School Notices
TERM 3 WEEK 9
Dear valued member of the PLC community,
As we head toward a well-deserved break over the school holidays, I will use this as an opportunity to remind families of the College's policy on earrings. The school holidays are a popular time for students to have their ears pierced, but before you return to school on Tuesday 11 October, please familiarise yourselves with our earring policy found in our Senior School Handbook.
Year 8 Bush Dance
On Friday night, our Year 8 students enjoyed their social with Scotch College.
Students were introduced to dances by Humphreys Dance Studio such as the hucklebuck and barn dance.
The students said they had a terrific time and thank you to everyone involved in the night.

Head of Senior School
