From the Leader of Wellbeing – Year 7
Dear Parents, Carers, and Students of Year 7,
As Term 1 draws to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the wonderful start our Year 7 students have made in their high school journey.
It has been heartening to see how well our students have settled into secondary school life. With the help of our Peer Support Program, Year 7 students have formed new friendships, built confidence, and become familiar with the routines and expectations of the College.
We’ve also seen fantastic involvement in a wide range of extracurricular opportunities. From the swimming carnival to the Year 7 camp, and activities such as diving, representative sport, and Project Compassion, our students have embraced every opportunity to participate and contribute to College life.
As we approach the cooler months, a gentle reminder that students will need to wear their full winter uniform in Terms 2 and 3. Details can be found in the College Learning Planner (pages 14A–15A), but key reminders include:
Girls’ Winter Uniform (Terms 2 & 3):
- Black, polished, hard leather lace-up school shoes (no heels – WH&S requirement)
- Navy or black 70-denier school stockings
- School kilt (below the knee) and short-sleeve blouse (no tie)
- Blazer (compulsory); jumper and scarf (navy or black) optional
- Girls’ school trousers are also an approved option
Boys’ Winter Uniform (Terms 2 & 3):
- Black, polished, hard leather lace-up school shoes (WH&S requirement)
- Taupe trousers with a black belt
- Short-sleeve school shirt (tucked in) and school tie
- Black or taupe socks
- Blazer (compulsory); jumper and scarf (navy or black) optional
I would like to wish all families a joyful and restful break. We look forward to seeing the students refreshed and ready for the term ahead. Happy Easter.
