Year 7-11 Parent/Guardian, Teacher and Student Conferences

Thursday 26th August presents an opportunity for parents, teachers and students to meet to discuss student progress.  This year’s will be unique in that they will be held entirely remotely! 

Bookings through Compass will be completed as normal. Instructions to assist teachers and parents connecting with each other will be shared as we near the date.

Mobile Phones at the Canteen

Please remember that mobile phones are not allowed at school and students should only access them before and after school hours. Whilst we recognise that using a mobile phone to make payments is common practice for many adults in 2021, unfortunately this luxury cannot be extended to students at the school canteen.

Please bring the physical debit/savings card or cash to pay for items from the canteen.

Face masks on the move

As Melbourne has once again extended their lockdown and associated remote learning, we can be grateful that we are not likewise effected in Geelong at this time. Maintaining this safety requires a continued effort from all of us to follow the practices associated with preventing the spread of COVID-19. 

Please remember that the wearing of face masks at school and when travelling on public transport, riding your bike or walking to school are an essential part of preventing the spread of COVID-19.

Pupil Free Days

The College Council has approved our next Pupil Free day, scheduled for Thursday September 2. The focus of this day will be on the Positive Futures Framework, School Review and SIR/Wellbeing.

Students are not required to participate at school on this day.
