      Family Emergency Plan

      At enrolment, we ask for every family to have a family emergency plan should the school need to close suddenly.

      Can you please discuss your family emergency plan with your children to remind them of what they must do in this type of situation.

      If your child catches a bus, you need to have an alternative plan, in case we are not able to arrange for buses to come early. For further information CLICK HERE


      Careers Hub

      As we head towards the holidays, some senior students are thinking ahead and have applied for the STAR courses that are available in the school holidays.

      If students are interested in being a Café Attendant, Cooking, Hairdressing, Interior Design and others, they could get a taste for these areas, sometimes with credits. Students can access more information on our Careers google classroom.

      For year 13 students who are interested in applying to medical school in Australia, UCAT is now open to book for the test. This is also where there are practice tests and further information.
