Dear Students, Parents and Carers,

Welcome back for Term Four!

On behalf of our staff, I can say that we have been happy with the start to the new term with students returning in uniform with the appropriate resources ready to learn. Our classes have been settled and students have been suitably engaged with the teaching and learning provided.

Typically, there are so many key events in Term Four – I would ask that families check our College Calendar on Compass on a regular basis to see what is happening at our school from one week to the next. I thank families in advance for their wonderful support of our great school, and I wish our students all the very best with their studies across their subjects for the term ahead.
