With the cooler weather now well and truly upon us and as we conclude the first week of winter, I take the opportunity this week to remind everyone of our College uniform expectations that are in place for Term 2 and 3. At the outset, it should be noted that the College diary remains the first point of reference for uniform and grooming requirements (pages 17-20 in both junior and senior diary). These requirements are regularly reiterated at year group assemblies so that students are aware of the standards that are required of them. I thank our parent community for your support in ensuring that the vast majority of our students continue to meet these expectations and represent the College with pride. 

Finally this week, I remind everyone of our COVID-safe guidelines for Term 2 which stipulate that whilst household close contacts who have no symptoms may continue to attend school, they must adhere to the following requirements:

• The school is notified that they are intending to return as a close household contact
• They must wear a mask indoors except when eating or exercising
• Once they have completed their 7-day isolation period, they should wear a mask for an additional 3 days (for days 8 to 10)

Please note that students who test positive for COVID-19, or who are unwell or showing COVID-19 symptoms, must continue to isolate at home.

All the best for the week ahead,

Mr David Cloran
