<\/span><\/p>\nThe College community gathered for our annual ANZAC Day service last week to reflect, commemorate and give thanks to all former and current men and women of the Australian Defence Force. <\/span><\/p>\n ANZAC day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day on which we remember Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity. <\/span><\/p>\n T<\/span>he Spirit of ANZAC is not confined to the battlefield. It lives in the schools, on the sports fields and within our everyday lives. We continue to strive and live out the Spirit of the ANZAC through freedom of speech, freedom of worship, and freedom to live and think as you will. <\/span><\/p>\n Our Year 12 Modern History students led the assembly and, through the service, particularly acknowledged the <\/span>30th anniversary of the Australian Defence Force deployment to Somalia from 1992 to 1995.<\/span><\/p>\n As we head into Week 3, Term 2 here are a few reminders regarding the College Uniform:<\/span><\/p>\n A student will be issued a Uniform Infringement through COMPASS if she is in breach of the College\u2019s Uniform Policy. If the student receives a second Uniform Infringement, a Friday Lunch Detention will automatically be issued. The detention will be completed on the Friday of the nominated week and appear on her schedule in COMPASS. <\/span><\/p>\n Once a student receives a second Friday Lunch Detention, their Tutor will contact home. A further Uniform Infringement will result in a Monday Afternoon Detention being issued and a parent meeting arranged.<\/span><\/p>\n It is a College expectation that all students have their COMPASS student ID card with them every day. The card is used in particular for students to tap in and out of the College for late arrival or early departure.<\/p>\n I ask for the support of parents in ensuring that your daughter\/s have this with them every day. If students have misplaced or lost their student ID card, it is a requirement that the card is replaced. Please see below for how to order a new card online.<\/p>\n It is imperative that students at the College are using their OPAL Cards when using buses to travel to and from school. Current statistics of bus usage by the students are not representative of the numbers of students relying on buses for transport to and from schools and there is a significant shortfall in the statistics.<\/span><\/p>\n The statistics that are gathered do have a significant impact on the number of bus services that are provided to the College and we need to be sure that students are using their OPAL Cards if we are to maintain the number of bus services allocated to the College at this stage and to increase the number.<\/span><\/p>\n I ask all parents and carers to talk with their daughters about this important issue. Should you have any concerns related to the travel of your daughters on buses, I welcome the feedback. Added to this, I ask that you too contact the Bus Depot as well to raise your concerns with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Students who are close contacts and have no symptoms may continue to attend school if they follow guidelines agreed with NSW Health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Close\/household contacts attending school will need to adhere to the following in addition to the NSW Health guidelines:<\/span><\/p>\nCollege Winter Uniform<\/strong><\/h3>\n
