Dear Parents and Guardians

Paul Dillon will be visiting the School on 16 September to hold separate presentations for our senior students. Paul has been working in the area of drug education for 30 years and through his business, Drug and Alcohol Research and Training (DARTA) he is asked by agencies and organisations across Australia to provide updates on current drug trends. His 90-minute presentations will focus on the following:

Year 10: Young people, alcohol and risk taking: Looking after your mates

Year 11: Alcohol and cannabis: What do you and your friends need to know?

Year 12: Last year at school: What do I need to know about alcohol and other drugs

Paul attends the School each year and his presentations are always well received.

The School has also been fortunate to secure a booking with the YLead team who will be on campus on 18 October to engage the Year 9 cohort in a full day leadership programme. Titled Leadershift the students will be guided through pillars of wellbeing including Engagement, Positive Emotions, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment.

Year 7, 9 and 11 students will be expected to attend the CAS Athletics Carnival to be held at Homebush on Thursday 19 September. This is an afternoon/evening event with the boys transported to the venue during period 6 and the carnival concluding around 8pm. Parents will shortly receive an Operoo form regarding this event.
