I would like to extend a warm welcome to the new school year to all our Secondary Learners and Families. I hope you have had a wonderful break and holiday season and that you’re looking forward to the new school year. We are looking forward to welcoming you and catching up with each of you when school resumes in the coming weeks.

This year we have a staggered start for our Secondary Learning Community with details outlined below:

Fri 27th Jan: Week 1A

  • Year 7, Year 11 and 12 commence at 8:50am

  • Year 7 students will start their day in M25/26 (Maths classrooms) with Mr Keith and their Care Group Team

  • Year 11 and 12 will meet in M30/31 (English classrooms) with Mrs Martens and Care Group staff.


Mon 30th Jan: Week 2B

  • Year 8, Year 9 and 10 commence at 8:50am

  • Year 8 and 9 students will meet Mr Keith and Care Group Staff in M25/26 (Maths classrooms)

  • Year 10 learners will meet with Mrs Martens in M31

During these sessions students will receive their timetables, have an opportunity to meet many of their teaching team and hear about some of the upcoming events, activities and opportunities within Secondary this year.

Students can see their classes and classroom teachers via the Sentral App in readiness for Day 1.

If families can support the successful start to the new year by ensuring their children have the following organised, that would be greatly appreciated:

  • Correct Summer Uniform (all students are to wear their formal summer uniform with hat on the first day back) Uniform days will be shared in the next Newsletter

  • iPad charged: If you have your iPad at home please ensure this is charged and ready to go from Day 1. If you have yet to be issued your iPad please note this will be happening during Year meetings at the start of your first day.

  • You have looked at and gained the necessary equipment from the 2023 Equipment List

  • Organised your uniform, bag, lunch, equipment the night before so you are packed and ready for learning!
