Just a reminder as parents prepare for purchases of uniform items for the 2012 school year that contrary to any information you may hear from any other source, the uniform standard for footwear hasn’t changed.
As per our Student Planner and the Prospectus, students are required to wear plain black leather joggers or black leather shoes with black soles and black laces.
The wearing of high-tops is not acceptable – e.g. Doc Martens. “Surf shoes” or “skate shoes” do not meet uniform requirements. |

The success of our very strong focus on literacy and numeracy is evident in our results for the 2011 Year 9 NAPLAN (National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy) tests. Our students’ results are very encouraging.
There are five dimensions to the tests:
§ Reading
§ Writing
§ Spelling
§ Grammar and Punctuation
§ Numeracy
Our most notable improvement was in Writing.
The percentage of students at or above the national minimum standard is at or above the state performance in all five dimensions and at or above the national performance in all five dimensions.
These results are testament to the hard work and clear focus on getting the fundamentals of literacy and numeracy right in Years 8 and 9. |

LAPTOP PROGRAM YEAR 9 2012 |
|
In 2012, all Year 9 students will have access to a take-home laptop program under the Australian Government’s National Secondary School Computer Fund. This means that should parents choose to join the program, students will be provided with a high quality laptop computer for use at school and at home for four years. There will be an annual fee to contribute towards maintenance, servicing and additional software.
It is hoped that the laptops provided to students under the Fund will support and assist student learning at school and at home. To help us achieve this goal, it is important that students and parents lend support to this valuable program.
All parents of our current Year 8 students were provided with more information about this program after the Spring vacation. |
