Dear Parents and Caregivers,
As part of our commitment to working together with you on improving your sons’ and/or daughters’ learning outcomes and wellbeing, the College is now able to contact you if your son or daughter is late to school. This notification will be via a SMS. We hope this allows you to have timely communication with your child on their punctuality and attendance. If you have any questions or concerns with your child’s attendance, I encourage you to contact your child’s House Dean.
Regards,
BRYAN GAUKROGER (STUDENTS' DEAN)

2023 NEXT STEP
YEAR 12 COMPLETERS SURVEY
All our students who completed Year 12 last year will soon receive an invitation to do the Next Step survey. The short five-minute survey asks graduates about the study and work they have been doing since finishing school. The results from the survey help our school improve our senior programs and prepare students for work and further study.
We ask parents, siblings and friends to encourage our graduates to complete the survey. If their contact details have changed, please assist survey interviewers with their updated details or forward the survey to their new address so they can participate. Graduates may receive an invitation by mail, email or phone. The survey can be completed online or by phone.
