Year 10

It has continued to be a busy time back at school this past week. Training has begun for some sports, and I am sure the students are enjoying being active again with their peers rather than on their own. The past week has also been full of information for students regarding their upcoming subject selections for Yrs 11 and 12. During Tutor Time, students have been discussing these choices and have also watched a question and answer session with both HSC and IB Yr 12 students. In addition, they have been completing a form that encourages them to research information on the choices available to them and hopefully helps them to think clearly and logically before making their final decisions. The students were asked to use their phones to take a photo of their completed forms to show their parents. Tony and I recommend that you speak to them about this over the long weekend as I am sure many are finding making these choices quite a daunting experience. We would also value your support in ensuring they choose courses that they are interested in, rather than choosing what they feel their parents would want for them.

Parents on Campus

A reminder to parents that current school regulations do not allow parents to enter school premises to drop off any items that their child has forgotten for the day. We ask that parents follow these regulations, even if receiving pressure via a text message or phone call from their child during the day.

Lunch Orders

If students have any problems with lunch orders or cannot locate them, please let them know to ask either Mr Joel Squire, the Canteen Manager, or any other Canteen staff member, who will be able to address any issues on the spot.

Social Distancing

We would appreciate it if parents are able to have continued conversations with their children regarding community expectations with social distancing. It is very easy for us all to feel that life has returned to normal due to having returned to school and being able to see and chat to friends and teachers. However, the general public are more alert to the need for social distancing and students have been seen clustering together outside of the school grounds and making it difficult for members of the public to enter retail premises or pass by in the street while maintaining the recommended distance.
