From the Head of School Operations - Acting Mrs Susan Lazenby
I trust that you enjoyed the long weekend and the beautiful weather. It seems that we had barely started the term, and now we are halfway through already. This week’s news is very much operational with some reminders.
manufactured over east and their delivery was hampered by lockdowns and border closures. Just when we thought it would be safe to believe that the delivery was on its way, a train derailment added further delays. Nevertheless, we were able to borrow some and more will arrive this week for the new students who have patiently endured being without lockers.
Lost Property
We do our best but do need your help. Over the last fortnight, we had an avalanche of lost property, mainly due to possessions left behind at the Inter-House Swimming Carnival. Fortunately, most have been claimed. The Receptionists send Direqt Messages to students when the lost property’s owner can be identified; however, we still have some unnamed and unclaimed blazers, jumpers, cardigans, shirts, shorts, trousers, sports bags, books and pencil cases, a pair of black school shoes and oddly, one forlorn school shoe! We would like to clear the pile this week so check at home to see what could be missing. Please can you make sure that all possessions are marked with your child’s name to help locate their rightful owners.

Uniforms This is a reminder that students are to wear full School Uniform to and from school each day. There are of course exceptions when students are participating in all day events like the Swimming Carnival, or for the ACC teams at all day Inter-School Carnivals. Ms Scheele will let students know what the dress code is for those occasions. If for any reason your child cannot wear their full school uniform, please inform their PCG tutor. By the same token, if your child has a uniform mishap at school, the Receptionists have spare uniforms to tide them over temporarily. It is also important that students always wear their uniforms correctly. Whether they are out in the city, on public transport or in the community, they are representing the School and should therefore be well groomed and well turned out.
