Fortunately we have been able to reschedule the On Purpose Day at Point Erin Pools to Monday, 13 February. Thanks for your understanding and flexibility with the unexpected changes to the start of the year. The focus for the beginning of the year will be establishing routines and expectations so that each student in Year 8 is set up for success.

Sports Camp 2023

Monday, 18 September to Friday, 22 September – Week 10 of Term 3

Cost – yet to be confirmed, few parent helpers needed

There is the opportunity for 38 Year 8’s to attend a week of wall-to-wall sports! Lots more info to come but something to discuss with your families. There will be trials to attend, and it will involve a commitment of your time in the lead up. You must be sporty, competitive and be able to manage yourself.

Mrs Pollock will be taking expressions of interest from Tuesday, 7 February.
