From the Leader of Wellbeing - Year 9
Dear Parents/Carers and Students of Year 9,
We have two weeks left of term 3. You have been working diligently over the last 8 weeks completing classwork, homework and assessment tasks.
The last couple of weeks have been busy and can also be stressful, with lots of assessment tasks and exams, so remember:
- Take the time to plan
- Look after yourself
- Rest when you need to
- Ask for help
- Eat a balanced diet
- Exercise is a great way to manage your stress
- Get a good night's sleep

Uniform
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.
I am very proud and happy to see year 9 students achieving these great things at our college. I hope everyone can continue to work hard and achieve the goals they set for themselves.
Ms Alicia Harwood
