📚 Every Day Counts! 📚

Did you know that students who attend school regularly are more likely to achieve better academic results, build stronger friendships, and enjoy greater opportunities in the future?

Regular attendance helps students stay connected to their learning, develop positive routines, and make the most of every school day. Even missing a few days can mean missing important learning experiences and social connections.

✅ Learn better
✅ Build friendships
✅ Develop positive habits
✅ Create brighter futures

Parents and carers play an important role in supporting regular attendance. Simple routines such as preparing uniforms and school bags the night before, setting regular bedtimes, and speaking positively about school can make a big difference.

Remember, if your child is absent from school, please notify the school beforehand, on the day of the absence, or as soon as practicable after their return.

Together, we can help every student succeed—because every day counts! 🌟

📸 School Photo Update 📸

We would like to advise parents and carers that there has been an unexpected delay in the delivery of this year's school photographs due to our photographer experiencing unforeseen difficulties.

The updated expected delivery date for school photographs is Friday, 7 August.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and will notify families as soon as the photographs arrive at the college.

Thank you for your continued support.
