Dear Parents and Students Last Friday, the College held its annual Mission Day – a day of fun, dance, song, food and spirit. Thank you and congratula ons to all those students and staff who worked so hard in prepara on for this event and to parents who provided extra pocket money to be spent in a good cause. In par cular, I would like to acknowledge our Year 12 students who led many of the Mission Day ac vi es. Their dedica on and crea vity are simply wonderful. The final amount of money raised on the day was $8338.50 which will be used to support Mary Ward Interna onal and projects for Catholic Missions, par cularly St Anthony’s Orphanage in Zambia.

STUDENT ILLNESS During the last week, there have many students quite ill with a range of ‘flus and other viruses. Can I stress to parents and students the importance of students staying home when they are unwell. I know that the girls are under pressure with assessment and approaching exams, but con nuing to come to school rather than staying home to rest simply prolongs illness and encourages its spread amongst others. We have two students with confirmed diagnoses of swine flu which further highlights the importance of staying at home when sick. Please contact your daughter’s Year Coordinator if she needs to be away for a number of days or needs to arrange extensions or changes to assessment. Can I remind parents of the requirement to telephone the school if your daughter will be absent and to provide medical cer ficates if she is away for assessment.
