Hi, there are a couple of things I would like to highlight as we move toward the end of Term 3. The first is that our Year 9 students will be making their subject selection for next year now. They are completed online and close Monday 16 September at 8 am so please keep checking with your child to get all the information you need. If you need some assistance, then please contact the front office and they will be able to assist you.

Year 10s have gone through their subject selection for next year and many are working toward some goals around improving grades for this semester. As a reminder, some students have expressed an interest in attending TAFE next year so information around applications for TAFE can be found at https://admissions.tafe.wa.edu.au/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f

The second thing is attendance. We understand that students and their families have appointments that arise and students need to leave school for. If you could put a note in their student diary, they can simply show this to their teacher, then come to Student Services and sign out. The other thing you can do is send a text message to 0407 384 039 (you might want to put this into your contacts for future reference) and state who your child is, what time they are signing out and the reason, then Student Services can then sign them out of school at the right time.

This also means students aren’t accessing their phones at school, because as we know, the Department of Education rule is 'mobile phones should be off and away all day'.

The last thing to keep an eye out for is at the end of next term our amazing Year Coordinators (Ms Smith - Year 9 and Ms Walton - Year 10) organise some wonderful end of year events for students who have their Good Standing. If you aren’t sure what that means then please go to our website and look at the Middle School Good Standing Policy document for further information. It would be great to have as many students eligible to attend these great events.
