From the Leader of Wellbeing - Year 9
Dear Year 9 Students and Parents/Carers,
Thank you to all of our Year 9 students who have had such a positive start to term 2. Our Wellbeing lesson focused on plagiarism which allowed students to gain an understanding of the importance of remaining authentic. This will also enhance learning opportunities that will be beneficial for their future studies and educational pathways.
It was wonderful to see so many Year 9 students compete, cheer and get involved in the Athletics Carnival, last Friday. There was so much house spirit in the air, enthusiasm and a wonderful atmosphere the entire day. Well done to all students and thank you to the staff.
Uniform Expectations
As always, a reminder of uniform expectations. If you need a reminder of what the uniform expectations are, look in your Learning Planner on pages 15A and 16A.
We wish to remind everyone again that the following needs to be done at all times or a red card will be issued:
- Blazers should be worn into Learning Group until their Learning Advisor sees them
- Blazers should be worn after period 6 and when leaving the College
- Non-St Andrews items such as beanies and hoodies SHOULD NOT be worn to school.
- If a student cannot wear their sports uniform, they are required to wear their normal school uniform
- School jumpers cannot be worn over sports uniforms. A school sports jacket is required.
- Boys must have their facial hair shaved
- Hair must be above the collar
- No nail polish or eyelash extensions.
We understand with the weather getting a lot colder students may want to keep extra warm. However, you need to comply with the school policy and not bring any hoodies or beanies. A black or navy scarf and gloves can be worn. If students are still cold they can wear thermal clothing under the school uniform so long as it is not visible.
Year 9 Reflection Day
Our Year 9 Reflection Day is coming up in week 8 on Friday 16th June. I wish to remind students that this is a compulsory day.
PDSSSC Rep Sport Teams
Congratulations to those students who have made the rep soccer and netball teams. Good luck with your competition, work as a team, train hard and represent the College with pride.

It is wonderful to see so many of our students have the confidence to represent the College in many activities.
Lastly, I would like to encourage students to continue to work hard, try their best in every lesson and get involved in the many extra curricular activities that we have on offer here at St Andrews College. Remember you have many people at the College who are here to support you. Your teachers, Learning Advisors and I are here to support you and help you to reach your personal best.
