Assistant Principal’s Message
As Term 1 draws to a close I would like to thank our staff and students for their ongoing diligence to create a great environment where we can work and learn together. Much has been achieved throughout this very busy term and we are fortunate to have an opportunity to pause for a well earned break. I would also like to thank you, our parents for your ongoing support of the school.

Uniform and Grooming
The beginning of Term 2 signals a change to the College Winter Uniform and details can be found in the student diary on pp 13-15. However, I would like to highlight the following:
- The College blazer is the outer garment when students travel to and from school during Term 2&3. The jumper may only be worn under the College blazer.
- We understand that some students feel the cold, therefore a long sleeve blouse is available for purchase as part of both the junior and senior uniform. Your daughter may choose to layer a singlet or spencer underneath, provided that they cannot be seen. Long sleeve T Shirts or hoodies are not to be worn.
- The College sport uniform consists of a polo shirt, tracksuit and shorts. The college jumper should not be worn with the track suit. Please note that lycra shorts are not part of the sports uniform.
- Students have the option of wearing their white St Ursula’s socks with their winter uniform for the first two weeks of term. After this time they will wear black tights.
