New Uniform Shop Hours Mon to Friday - 8 am to 9 am; 11 am to 11.30 am and 1 pm to 1.30 pm. New Staff We welcome two new staff members; Mr Mark Stevens, Assistant Principal, Primary Campus and Mrs Krista Coughlan who will take over from Mr Mel Kirk in the Accounts Dept at the end of this Term. Mrs Coughlan will also run the Uniform Shop. This is the reason that we are now able to have the Uniform Shop open 5 days a week which is very convenient for our Students and Parents. Open Day It was certainly a most successful and fun day last Saturday when we had the official opening of The Michael Kyle Learning Centre by Mr Kyle, our Chairman. We all enjoyed listening to the exceptional talents of Ruby Luck on piano, and the wonderful vocal talents of Estelle MacPherson, Charlotte Stubbs and Eddy Sarroff. Thank you to our fantastic Volunteers who kept the crowds fed and watered, thanks to our dedicated Teachers and Students and, especially, thanks to all our College family who supported the event. We all look forward to the next building. There is no stopping us now!

New Uniform A new College hat is being introduced in 2015 with a band identifying our logo. The existing Akubra will become obsolete over time but be aware that NO second-hand hats can be bought or sold for College uniform use in 2015 and beyond. On Tuesday 21 October all Yr 8 students will need to hand their Akubra hats into their Form Teacher to have their hat fitted with the new band, free of charge. The following week we will do Yr 9 and so on. We will not change Yr 12. Navy blazers will have a new pocket with the full College logo from 2015 and only donations of the old version blazer will be accepted into the Uniform Shop. No sales or buying of these will be acceptable for College uniform in 2015 and beyond. Only existing navy blazer without the full logo will be allowed.
