This is a great way for our students to celebrate the end of the first school term with some delicious food and a small percentage of the proceeds of these orders will help to raise funds for our sponsor Children of Compassion.
Please note that all orders must be completed online before 9 am on the 29th of March so dietary requirements can be catered for during the ordering process.
Bake for Change Fundraiser:
Cupcakes will be on sale in the Café area next Thursday 30th March.
Winter Uniform reminder:
Just a reminder that Term 2 is approaching quickly. Boys will need to have ties for Terms 2 and 3 and students will need to have a jumper or jacket that is appropriate for their respective formal or sports uniform.
Years 10 - 12 Leadership Development Day:
On the 31st of March 2023, we will be hosting a Leadership Development Day for all Year 10 - 12 students. The event will take place on-site, with Character Builders running various team-based challenges and initiatives to help our students grow their capacity for leadership. We hope this event will help our senior students understand the important role they have in shaping the culture of our College and how they can use their influence to uplift those around them.
Free Dress:
On the last day of term, students will be allowed to attend school in Free Dress for a gold coin donation (funds will be used to support our Children of Compassion across the College). The theme for this term's Free Dress is "Crazy Hair" to celebrate the end of our Hairspray fundraiser. Please note that this does not permit students to permanently change the colour of their hair. Students are reminded to adhere to the College Free Dress Policy to avoid being sent home.
Free Dress requirements:
- Shorts should reach to just above the knees and cannot be shorter than mid-thigh
- Students may not wear make-up
- Stomach regions should not be exposed
- Students should wear a t-shirt or equivalent. No bare midriffs, low necklines, singlets or strappy tops
- Practical closed shoes to be worn that do not impede the ability of students to participate in class or scheduled activities
- Students must wear respectable tops (clothing that has negative slogans or images will not be permitted)
