Week 3 Specials &
Student Cards Info
Last Term a scanning system was introduced for student purchasing at the Mango Café. Students are required to scan their student ID card to purchase from the Café. This system alleviates the need for cash or a debit card to be carried. The system brings up a photo of the student making the purchase, to ensure the correct card is being used.
Students will not be able to purchase food without their ID card. Student cards can be topped via the MSA portal here.
New ID cards can be purchased from Administration. A replacement fee of $5.00 will be charged.

Head of Community & Welfare, Junior School - Zoe O'Donnell
Dear Parents and Carers,
This week we have included our Term 3 clubs roster for your perusal. Cocurricular clubs are an excellent way for your child to connect in with our vibrant community. Students are invited, encouraged even, to try a club that they haven’t yet tried this year. Trying something new allows our students to challenge themselves and maybe even step outside of their comfort zone. As they are challenged they are going to grow in more ways that just the intended goal or outcome from the club, they will also be growing their character.
Girls Group - A Safe Space
Girls Group is a welcoming, inclusive place for all girls in the Secondary School to connect, belong, and grow. Facilitated by our School Counsellor Mrs Tanya Tennant.
Police Visits on Site
The College was recently contacted by the Logan Police department about a new initiative that they will be implementing in Term 3 and possibly extending to Term 4. The initiative will involve Police parking onsite at various school or colleges in the area and engage with P plate and L plate drivers by performing randomised licence inspections and breathalyser tests in a controlled, safe and familiar setting. The College is supporting this initiative as a means of providing our students with an educational experienced aimed at gaining valuable real life experience to prepare them for future interactions with the Police. We will be informing our Middle and Senior School Students about this initiative aimed at educating young drivers during assembly next week Wednesday, 30 July 2024.
