We would love to have a look at the 2009 DVD and show our current students. Does anyone in our community have one or know of someone you could ask? Stay tuned as we really ramp up things from the start of next term. A Reminder about our Uniform Please ensure that your children are dressed in our approved items of school uniform and that all items are clearly named. If you are unclear about our policy please find a copy on our school website. Also remind your students that they are responsible for looking after their tops and jackets. We find them around the school on a daily basis! I have noticed that many girls are wearing leggings and tights that are not black in colour. Long hair should always be tied back and we ask that all hair ribbons etc. are either black or red. No jewellery please! Thank you for supporting us in having all the students looking great at all times. Foundation 2018 Transition Dates Our Transition dates for our 2018 Foundation students are now organised.
