UNIFORM

All students are expected to be in full summer uniform. Please review pages 20-21 in the student diary for clarification. Girls' skirts need to be touching just above the knee cap. All hair should be off the shirt collar. Mullet style, chiseled out sideburns fall outside the schools expectations. The school sports jacket should not be worn with the summer uniform. Blazers may be worn for cooler weather in summer school terms.

PALS teachers will be putting students out of uniform on lunch withdrawal and writing notes in the student diary to communicate with families.

Please ensure that your son or daughter are meeting the uniform expectations.

TEEN VAPING WEBINAR WITH PAUL DILLON

Vaping (the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes or 'vapes') continues to be an issue that attracts a great deal of attention as well as debate across the country. Vaping is a new phenomenon, with the first e-cigarette being invented in 2003. As a result, many parents have little or no experience with the issue as the devices simply weren’t around when they were in their teens.

This session will examine what we currently know about the use of e-cigarettes and vaping amongst Australian school-based young people. This is an area that is constantly changing and parents attempting to make sense of the information provided by both the ‘pro-vaping’ and ‘anti-vaping’ lobbies may find it extremely difficult to navigate. As we move towards the end of the school year parents are likely to need as much assistance as possible.

Cost: $25 plus GST

This event will be live-streamed but, for those unable to attend live, a recording of the event will also be made available for a period following the event's conclusion.
