As we end Week 8 of Term 2, it is wonderful to see the level of engagement that so many students are putting into their learning. Many students are thriving in this space. It has also been lovely to see the students socialising in the yard, participating in various activities, sports, and excursions. There is a real sense of normality about the place. Please take some time to speak with your child/ren about how they are going with their learning, friends, and activities at school.

I take this opportunity to note some reminders, and thank you for your support on the following:

• All students should now be in full winter uniform. There have been a few boys still wearing shorts. There have also been a number of students that are either regularly in their physical education uniform, or incorrect physical education uniform. Please take some time to check that your child has all the correct uniform items and inform their Learner Mentor if support is needed.
• Students were also reminded this week about their use of headphones and AirPods. Students are not to use AirPods or headphones on the school grounds and were reminded that they must be removed on entry to the College. If a teacher requests a student use earplugs or headphones for learning and teaching purposes, they must be wired through their laptop. If Year 12’s wants to listen to music when studying, they can through their laptops using wired headphones, not through their phone. Any student that is not respectful of the use of AirPods and headphones will have them confiscated for a week.

We look forward to the end of term celebrations in the final week, with our Academic Assembly on Thursday 22 June, followed by our Sacred Heart Day Mass, fair and talent quest.

I have also included a some information on various workshops and webinars to support parents.

Thank you for your ongoing support. When we work together to understand the hopes and dreams of our students, they in turn engage in their learning and together we inspire their love of learning.

God Bless.
