Principal’s Assembly<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last week we celebrated our first Principal’s Assembly for Term 2, which was a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together. I would like to commend our Year 12 Student Leaders for their organisation and leadership of the assembly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The College community was privileged to performances by two of our many talented musicians: Ava Sidoti and Annabel Femia. Their performances demonstrated the special gifts that they so willingly shared with the community. I thank Ava and Annabel for their courage and willingness to share their gifts and encourage all students to take part in the College opportunities that are presented so that they too can share their gifts with others.<\/span><\/p>\n

COMPASS Student Card<\/b><\/h3>\n

It is a College expectation that all students have their COMPASS Sudent ID Card with them everyday. The card is used in particular for students to tap in and out of the College for late arrival or early departure. I ask for the support of parents in ensuring that your daughter\/s have this with them every day.\u00a0 If students have misplaced or lost their card it is a requirement that the card is replaced. Please see below for how to order a new card online.<\/span><\/p>\n

School Buses<\/b><\/h3>\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 the 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 the 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

Close\/household contacts attending school will need to adhere to the following in addition to the NSW Health guidelines:<\/span><\/p>\n
