Over the past two years the College has moved the management of Co-curricular Activities to the Clipboard program. This has allowed us to have records of student attendance, report any incidents and collect results in the one place. It has also allowed us to keep more comprehensive co-curricular records for students. As a result, the College implemented a new system of awards for the Sport and Co-curricular Awards evening recognising those students with exemplary participation and achievement across a range of sporting and co-curricular endeavours. Clipboard works with the College App to notify parents of changes to sporting fixtures, student attendance and weather cancellations.

In recent months there have been reports of an increase in phishing attacks. Phishing is a way cyber criminals trick you into giving them personal information. They send you fraudulent emails or text messages often pretending to be from large organisations you know or trust. They may try to steal your online banking logins, credit card details or passwords, resulting in the loss of information, money or identity theft.  Some ways you can secure your account from phishing is to check any suspicious emails and report them to your email provider and never provide any personal details over the phone or the internet.

I would like to remind all students catching public transport to tap on and off whenever they enter and exit the vehicle. By tapping on and off when using public transport, the network can forecast the size and frequency of buses to provide on a bus route. 

The College bus service is a user pays service to assist families living in areas that have limited access to public transport to the College. All students using this service are expected to tap on and off as a means of duty of care. Parents of the students who use these buses can track the location of the buses using the Roll Call app. More details about the bus service and application forms can be found on the College website or at this link.
