Assessments
Results on students’ performance are sent home Christmas and Summer. This will provide you with detailed information on your child’s academic performance. As well as parent teacher meetings each class has a class tutor who will keep parents updated on students’ performance.
Code of Behaviour
The school has a comprehensive code of behaviour which outlines school rules, regulations, sanctions and procedures. This code of behaviour is signed up to by each student before they enter the school. The school also has a detailed policy on bullying. Our aim is to encourage students to develop respect for themselves, parents / guardians, fellow students, teachers and the community in general. We endeavour to provide an environment which enables students to develop into mature, responsible and caring adults.
Lunchtime
Students in first, second and third year are not permitted to leave the School Campus during lunchtime. Canteen facilities including hot food and activities are provided in the school. Senior students may go downtown with parental permission.
