From the Deputy CEO - Friday 30 May 2025

Assessment time approaches
Fire Pit 2025
Fire Pit 2025

I want to congratulate the entire community on an extremely successful weekend that has just passed. Our Rowers did a superb job, and a special shout out to Alex Myler as Captain of Boats. In addition, the Cocktail night went off without a hitch and there were many positive comments from parents regarding the culture around the college. 

Another shout out also to our Women's AFL Team as they close out an impressive season and a special win against the Jabba's last night!

We now turn our attention to the upcoming assessment period. With Swot Vac next week, a reminder to all that noise around the college should be reduced. Please also understand that just because your assessments are over, the person in the room next door may have upcoming assessments. Remember to be respectful in this regard. 

If you are looking to depart earlier than 21 June, please inform your RL so we can commence maintenance and cleaning. 

ANDREW EUNSON - DEPUTY CEO

 

Flat Reminder

With the upcoming holiday period looming, a couple of quick reminders regarding your room.....

  • Fridges should be cleaned out of all food and perishables
  • Fridge should be left on
  • Tidy and put items away to allow cleaners the space to do their work
