Finishing well

As our students round the bend and head down the home strait of 2023, I have encouraged them to remember to finish well. When you are in a breaststroke race you must finish with both hands touching the wall. If you don't finish with both hands touching the wall you are disqualified and all your effort is for nothing. This attention to detail is important. I have challenged our students to look to finishing well by demonstrating respect in all areas.

Respectful interactions – with teachers, peers and within out community

Respect for our College – wearing our uniform correctly and with pride, looking after our environment

Respect to God – honouring him with the best that we can be, trying hard and not giving up.

Please speak with your children about this and remind them of our uniform standards, the way we can be respectful in our relationships and how we can finish well with both hands on the wall.

Uniform

From Monday students who wearing incorrect uniform will spend time off the playground. This will include jewellery, incorrect socks, and sneakers with formal uniform. Notes will be sent home for these infringements.

Maths Olympiad

Several students in Years 5 and 6 have been completing the Maths Olympiad. Three of our students Adam S, Zachary L and Xavier W did very well, finishing in the top 25% of the State. Congratulations, it is wonderful to share in your achievements.
