Students driving to School and parking in the School grounds must complete a parking permit application and display their permit

The permit application form is available from Acting Head of Senior Students, Chris McElligott.

Private study lessons form part of each Year 12 student’s weekly timetable and are designed to support students to manage their learning independently and stay on track with academic requirements. Study Release is a privilege offered to eligible students with School approval and the support of parents and carers. Applications for Study Release open at the end of Week 5 of Term 1.

What is Study Release?

• Study Release allows eligible Year 12 students to be off site during private study lessons scheduled at the start or end of the School day.
• Students with private study at the beginning of the day may arrive in time for their first timetabled lesson. Students with private study at the end of the day may depart prior to their final timetabled lesson.
• Students are not permitted to leave School grounds during private study lessons scheduled in the middle of the School day

Eligibility for Study Release

To be eligible students must meet the following criteria during the first five weeks of Term 1:

• No outstanding or late assessments
