HOUSEKEEPING
Parents and Carers are reminded that the speed limit for driving on College grounds is 10 kph. Please use set down areas as advised. If staying longer please park in a parking bay.
Please telephone the school office to notify daily absences. If a student has a planned absence of more than 2 days please notify the office by email with the dates and explanation of absence. For absences of 10 days or more an Application for Extended Leave must be completed and are available from the College Website. If your child is ill, please keep them at home and notify the school.
Parents are asked to call the office before 2.00pm if needing to send messages to students. This allows our office helper time to deliver the message before end of school.
Parents and Carers are asked to put a note in the diary if collecting students early. Students must then come to the office for an early leavers stamp. This allows the student to leave class and be in the office on time to be collected.
Name everything
All the jumpers, jackets and hats look the same at school. As much as we believe our children will take care and be responsible for uniform pieces removed during the day, it is often not the case. A named article of clothing will make its way to a lost property basket, front office and eventually back home. Unnamed pieces are often lost to other homes, bottomless lost property baskets and rarely come back to the original owner. Iron on name tags are great these days, but if you want to be extra vigilant take the time to stitch the tag on as well.
PARENTS PLEASE NOTE:
Please take particular notice of the No Parking Signs near the pedestrian crossings. Local area highway patrol officers may be making regular visits to the site to ensure safety for all.

Jobs for Youth – Apprenticeship and Traineeship Night
There will be a Jobs for Youth – Apprenticeship and Traineeship Night held at Bankstown Sports Club on Monday 21st May from 7pm-9:30pm.
The response was overwhelming last time with over 330 attending on the night and 75 on a waiting list for their next event. Students who may be interested in gaining information about Apprenticeships and Traineeships and SBATs are invited to attend. SBAT representatives from the Department and Catholic Schools will be attending.
For those looking for an Apprenticeship or Traineeship, there will be employers with many job opportunities that will be available on the night, if this is the case, we ask that students bring along their resume/s and dress appropriately.
Below is a flyer with more information.
