The past week has again seen our College community engage in a multitude of Learning and Wellbeing activities. Year 7 participated in their Camp and activities days on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. A group of senior students and staff attended a live recording of Q&A on Monday night at the ABC Studios at Ultimo. On Thursday, Year 11 and 12 Studies of Religion 2 students took part in a HSC Study day at the Sydney Jewish Museum and Year 11 Hospitality participated in a Barista Training course. Years 7, 9 and 10 celebrated Harmony Week with year group picnics during their year meeting time on Thursday and Friday, our Polynesian Dance group presented a lunchtime performance on Thursday and today Year 8 participated in their annual “Encounter” Spirituality and Faith Day. Many thanks to all staff and students who assisted with the organisation and presentation of these activities.

These activities are all part of our holistic approach to student learning and wellbeing. Activities aside, there are matters that arise from time to time that require particular attention. One specific issue involves the use of Energy and Caffeinated drinks. These drinks are not recommended for sale and supply at school canteens by the NSW Department of Education because of the potential harm that excessive amounts may cause children and young adults. As such, we strongly advise students, parents and carers to be informed of the effects and potential risks associated with the use of such products and to not bring them onto school property.  Please click on the following link  NSW Health - Energy and Caffeine Drinks Fact Sheet should you require any information regarding this particular matter.
