Student Absences Via Clipboard 

A gentle reminder to families that if your child will be absent from School for any reason, please ensure the Front Office is notified via the absentee line. 

We appreciate that many parents and carers are letting coaches know of an explained absence through Clipboard when a child is unable to attend sport training. While this is important, it does not replace the need to formally notify the School of an absence during the School day. 

Clear communication helps us to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all students and allows us to maintain accurate attendance records. 

Cross Country Returns in Term 2 

More than just a race, the Inter-House Cross Country is an opportunity for students to encourage one another, strengthen House spirit and take pride in contributing to their team’s success. 

Dates and Time 

To support full participation, a timetable adjustment will apply for all students on both days of the event. Lessons 3 and 5 will be swapped to allow the Cross Country event to follow directly after Lunch– this will give everyone extra motivation to run fast! 

• Thursday 30 April – Years 10, 11 and 12
• Friday 1 May – Years 7, 8 and 9 

Course and Participation 

The course is a 2 to 2.5 kilometre circuit designed to challenge and inspire students of all running abilities. As a timetabled School event, participation is compulsory. 

Students are encouraged to run competitively or jog alongside their peers, contributing to the vibrant and inclusive spirit that defines this event. 

All students are required to wear their House tops and PE uniform.
