The campus will be open for students from 7.30am. Accordingly, students are asked to not arrive at school until 7.30am as they will not be permitted on the Campus before this time. The Library will not be available for students to use before or after school and the Study Centre will not run during this time. However, the Library will be open at recess and lunch for Yr 12 students who can also access it for their Study Periods during the day. Yr 12 students may also use other outdoor spaces or study spaces in the New Learning Hub once it opens. They will not need to sign in or out at of the Library during these periods.

Uniform

Students are expected to wear their Winter School uniform for On-Campus Learning days. They can still wear their PE uniform if on campus on Thursdays, as per normal practice.

Effective from this Monday 18 May, all Uniform orders will only be available Online through Flexischools for both parents and students via the following link: www.flexischools.com.au until further notice.
