Mr Peter McLellan | Head of Secondary

This term we have been looking at the Attributes of God.

I wanted to delve into understanding who God is, why He is important in our lives and how we live our lives.

He is described as the ROCK and that is our base for life which gives us direction and purpose to what we do and why we do it.

This week’s attribute is that God is unchangingly kind and He is merciful.

Foundational understanding of God actually creates clarity to life decisions and purposes.

Year 9 Boys Mission Trip

Applications for the Year 9 Boys Mission Trip are available from Mr McGillivray in the PDHPE staffroom. 

This is an amazing opportunity for our boys to partner with the Aboriginal communities of Brewarrina and Gulargambone. 

Every year the boys that go come back with a greater understanding of life and of themselves. 

If you are a parent/carer of a Year 9 boy, please encourage them to apply for the trip. 

Applications need to be completed by the end of this week (Friday 12 June).

Year 11 Prefect Applications

Students who would like to be considered for the role of Prefect 2020/2021, need to apply. The application form is available from Mr Lewis or the College office. Applications are due back by Friday 12 June 2020.

Uniform

Please ensure your child does not wear printed, coloured or long sleeve t-shirts underneath their shirts, as these are not part of the uniform.

A few students are starting to wear incorrect shoes; please ensure that enclosed leather black shoes are worn.

A reminder that if it is cold and a student wishes to wear a scarf, it must be in school colours.

Student Drop Off at Tank Works or 7-Eleven

The Tank Works across the road is private property and have requested that students are not dropped off on that site.

7-Eleven has also asked that students are not dropped off or picked from their premises.

Please do not drop off or pick up students of any age at these locations, as it not safe to do so.

Year 12 Students

The new dates for our HSC Trial Examinations are 17 - 31 August 2020. Our timetable will be released a little later.

Please note the HSC Examinations have also been pushed back by a few days. They will now start on 20 October and finish on 11 November 2020.

Vaccinations

Year 10 Meningococcal vaccinations will now be on 5 August, (rescheduled from 13 May) and on that day the nurses will be doing Year 7 catch-ups for those who missed their earlier vaccinations in February.

Year 7 follow-up HPV vaccinations will be on Wednesday 2 September.
