During the last week, the College community has well and truly felt the effects of the global pandemic, as many in our community have been isolating, as a result of contracting COVID-19 or being a close contact. We understand for some students this has been a source of anxiety as they have endeavoured to complete assessment and/or navigate illness. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s Pastoral Care Teacher or PAL should you have any concerns about how your child is coping.

Preparation for Term 2:

There are a few reminders about uniforms and expectations for when we return after the Easter break to start Term 2.  

As per usual, all students are to wear their winter school uniforms. This means, Senior students are reminded that blazers are to be worn, to and from school, at assemblies and official functions, during Terms 2 and 3. With the transition to the new College uniform, this will be the final year that girls may wear the older green and gold tartan check, mid-calf length winter skirts, with black socks, black pantyhose or black knee-high stockings. These winter skirts are being phased out and will not be able to be worn after 2022.

Students in Years 7 and 8 are expected to continue to wear the current green/white/navy tartan skirt during Terms 2 and 3 with black socks, black pantyhose or black knee-high stockings.

Please note that full-length navy slacks are now available for our female students, should they wish to wear them.

Other College standards relating to hair, jewellery and make-up remain the same.

The holidays are a great time to organize haircuts and check the state of uniforms, particularly if your child has had a growth spurt over the past couple of months.

Students are reminded that if they are in breach of the uniform standards upon their return, they will either acquire an internal or external suspension until the uniform issue can be resolved.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all students and their families for their support to ensure such a great start to the school year.

I am wishing everyone a safe, restful holiday and a very happy Easter break.
