From the Assistant Principal
Thank you for a Great Term 3
It has been an incredibly busy term, with many events that have given our students opportunities for growth. Our classrooms provide the greatest opportunities on a daily basis for our students who are challenged towards their personal best.
There have been many great examples of this over the term and term 4 promises to continue to provide more opportunities for each one of our students. I thank our teachers, students and parents for the dedication they have shown in making this a great College.
First Day of Term 4 – Monday 15th October 2018
We look forward to the return of all student across Years 7 to 11 on Monday 15th October 2018. Learning resumes on this day and CLC teachers will be contacting parents of any student who is absent on this day.
Term 4 2018 Summer Uniform Reminder
Dear Parents/Carers;
As Term 3 draws to a close we firstly congratulate you on the respect your daughters have shown for our College uniform this term. However, it is very important that we continue to remind our students and families of our summer uniform requirements.
The summer uniform has the following Expectations:
– Regulation College white ankle socks are to be worn at all times.
– College Skirts, which must cover the bottom of the knee-cap (ie covering the whole knee). We ask parents to ensure that over the holidays this is rectified before coming back on the first day of Term 4.
– Pink/Blue Blouse.
– Undershirts are to be neutral in colour and must not be showing otherwise these will have to be removed if they are brought to school.
– The College jumper is NOT to be worn during the summer uniform period
– The College Blazer can be worn in cooler weather and CAN be worn as the outer garment when coming to and leaving the College.
If any student is NOT in the correct summer uniform or incorrectly groomed on the first day of Term 4, she will be sent home to have the problem rectified. Please ensure you refer to the College Dress Code in the College Diary.

Reminder regarding Road Safety in and around the College
Please read below some very important reminders regarding traffic safety to ensure your daughter and all members of our community are kept safe:
Speed Limit – A reminder that during the times listed on the school zone signs, 40km/h speed limits apply.
We ask all parents to ensure you are vigilant with your speed and stick to the speed limit within our school zone all times.
Safe drop off – Please observe the road and parking rules to ensure you are dropping off or picking up your daughter in the correctly marked zones.
Parents are not permitted to park or stop at any time in a No Stopping Zone. Particularly in Carnarvon Street as this blocks buses from entering of an afternoon preventing our students from getting home at a reasonable time.
Pickup and Drop Off Zones – A reminder that these zones can only be used for a quick pick up or drop off only. The following applies:
-
maximum stop time is two (2) minutes
-
driver must remain in or within a vehicle
-
vehicle must not be left unattended
-
zone applies only during hours of operation
Morning Drop Off inside the College – We ask parents to move their car to the furthest point of the drop off zone to ensure as many cars as possible can come into the College ensuring traffic flow is not stopped or interrupted. When parents park their cars nearest the gates this causes traffic jams on Hamilton and Bulls roads. Please also check your mirrors when leaving to prevent any collisions and stick to the 10km/h speed limit within College grounds.
Police and Council Rangers regularly patrol the area around our College. Please ensure you observe all road and parking rules. These reminders are in place to ensure the safety of all members of our College community. We thank all parents for your continued support and care of our students. Please contact the College if you have any questions or concerns.
