As the community is now well aware, all students over the age of 12 are required to wear masks on school bus services of a morning and afternoon, as well as on any sport or excursion bus that the College operates. While it is not the responsibility of the College or bus companies to enforce this mandate, we continue to remind students of the importance of adhering to this current health order and remind students that Police are authorised to issue on-the-spot fines of $200 for anyone who is required to wear a mask and is not doing so. I urge parents to speak with their children about this and ensure that they have a mask each day for travel to and from school and on transport to events such as Tuesday afternoon sport. 

Earlier this week I reminded parents of students in Year 8 and 10 that their immunisations will be taking place this coming Wednesday 10 February. Students in Year 10 were given an information kit that needs to be returned by Tuesday 9 February while students in Year 8 will be receiving a follow up injection so their documentation is already with NSW Health. Students are reminded to wear their sports uniform on the day and to ensure that they eat a suitable breakfast on Wednesday morning. 

Given the increased number of parents that choose to drop their children off and pick them up in these early days of the school year, I take the opportunity to once again remind parents to exercise patience and caution in the bottom car park of a morning and afternoon. For safety reasons, it is essential that students are not dropped off or collected from the top carpark and turning circle at these times. I thank you in advance for your cooperation in this regard.
