Head of School Awards

School banking is a great way for students to learn good habits of saving money, working toward a goal and the importance of planning. Students can earn rewards for their efforts while learning these important lifelong skills. Students can bring their bank books and deposits to the office on Friday mornings. From there, volunteer parents count and deposit the money at the bank. If you are interested in assisting with school banking please contact the College office.

Reports/Parent Teacher Interviews

Semester 1 reports for Primary school will be uploaded to Parent Lounge in Week 1 of Term 3. Parents will be sent an email when they are available to view. Parent Teacher interviews for the Semester 1 reports will be on Wednesday 21 July from 3:30pm - 8:30pm. 

Uniform

Uniforms give students a sense of belonging and enhance pride in their school. Wearing a uniform shows unity and identity. In much the same way football followers will wear their team's jersey or scarf, a uniform builds a sense of community. Uniform also helps a child to feel equipped and ready to learn. Please ensure your child has the correct uniform on each day.

Learning Support Review - 2021 

Dear Parents

The College has engaged the services of the Association of Independent Schools (Student Services Department) to conduct a school-wide review of the initiatives and practices of the Enrichment Department (formerly known as Support Services) and their effectiveness in meeting the needs of our students. The framework utilised in the review looks at all components of policy, practice, and the implementation of programs from several perspectives.

This survey seeks input from staff, parents, and students to enable a holistic view of how we currently meet the learning needs of students with additional needs with a view of ensuring that we continue to provide the best possible outcomes for the diverse needs of our students.

We would value your input to this survey by Monday 31 May 2021, please click on this link to complete.
