Parents are as much a part of our community as our students. Parents should feel to contact the school if they are concerned or confused about issues affecting their child.
For lesser issues such as forewarning the school about impending absences, contacting your child’s Tutor Group teacher will be ideal.
For more serious issues such as concerns about bullying, contacting the Head of House is more appropriate.
Reports:
Reports are currently issued at the end of Term One, Term Two and Term Four. They will be available both in hard-copy (given to the student at the end of term) or as downloadable files from the school web-portal.
Parent/Teacher/Student Meetings
These meetings are held at the start of Term Two and near the middle of Term Three – please keep an eye on the weekly newsletters for details on exact dates.

Due to very high levels of staff absence due to illness we need to again roster Year 9 and 10 home this Friday 1 July in order to be able to provide safe levels of supervision at school. Students who are unable to learn at home are to come to school where they will be supervised.
