It was wonderful to welcome Year 8 back for 2020. Students have returned looking refreshed and ready for the year ahead. Year 8 has welcomed a number of new students into the year group as well as new staff to the Pastoral team. PALS teachers will continue to support students with their learning and pastoral needs. A reminder that if there are any issues with your child their PALS teacher is the best person to contact. Any other issues please contact me. 

UNIFORM AND DIARY

A reminder to students and parents/caregivers to revisit the uniform requirements and ensure that students are presenting themselves each day to the high expectations of the school. A reminder that sports shorts are to be a suitable length and not rolled up. This is also the case with the girls skirts and the boys shorts. They are to sit on the knee. Please give me a call if there are any issues in regards to uniform. Also, the use of the school diary will be a focus for 2020. Each student is to have their diary with them every day and must take it into PALS in the morning and to each lesson. Consistent and correct use of the diary will assist students in their organisation and keep them focused on achieving success in all areas of their learning.

For any student needing a helping hand with homework and assessments a reminder that the Homework Centre will be open on Wednesday afternoons in Gooroon, listen to messages for the starting date. Maths tutoring on Thursday afternoons will also be an option for any student requiring some extra support in Maths. Students will need to listen to the morning messages to find out when these will start.
