CHANGE TO THE COLOUR OF BOYS’ SHORTS
Beginning in 2026, the colour of the boy’s shorts will change from light grey to dark grey, making it consistent with the colour of the boy’s dark grey trousers.
Families who have already purchased light grey shorts may continue to use them until the end of Term 2, 2026. From Term 3 onwards, students who wear shorts as part of their academic uniform must wear dark grey shorts.
The approved dark grey shorts are now available at Academy Uniforms in Thomastown. It is our preference that shorts are purchased from Academy Uniforms for continuity of style and colour.

Social media age restrictions
What you need to know
From 10 December 2025 Australian young people under 16 will not be allowed to create or hold accounts on certain social media platforms.
Delaying account access allows more time for young people to build digital literacy and greater resilience.
How will it work?
Under the law, the responsibility lies with the age-restricted platforms to find and deactivate existing accounts held by under-16s and to prevent under-16s from creating new accounts.
There are no penalties for under-16s who access an age-restricted social media platform, or for their parents or carers
Social media platforms
The age restrictionsarelikely to apply to Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X and YouTube, as well as other platforms See the latest list.
Most standalone gaming and messaging apps, as well as many services that support health and education, will not be affected by the new law.
