PRINCIPAL CLASS Gryphon, Centaur and Phoenix. The weather was perfect and our students took to the pool to compete in the events while their teammates cheered from the sidelines in their House-colours. Athletics Carnival early next term. Mr Welch-Co-curricular Coordinator HOUSE POINTS TALLY: MOBILE PHONE POLICY As you would be aware, we have a very clear Mobile Phone policy, aligned to Department of Education requirements for all schools. This means that for students, mobile phones are required to be switched off and securely stored in lockers during the school day. While we live in a world surrounded by technology, we know that mobile phones can cause a distraction from learning and are impacting on the development of respectful and supportive relationships. Last week we communicated to all students very clear expectations with regards to mobile phones at school and we seek your support with this. We also have quite a number of mobile phone locker bays around the school for students to securely deposit their mobile phones. Please be aware that any communication between parents and students during the school day, will need to be through the General Office. It is also timely to remind everyone that students need to be taking care with any valuable items they bring to school, understanding that students bring these to school not as school requirements, but at their own risk. TUTOR SUPPORT PROGRAM Joining us this year are our Tutors, Ms Claire Brennan (3 days); Ms Jenny Denison (1 day); Ms Gullinar Gafar (2 days); Ms Anne Gould (5 days), Ms Kirstie Hoskin-Elliot (3 days in Term 1 only); Ms Christine Jumpertz (3 days); Ms Despina Kallis (5 days); Ms Helen Pouliassis (4 days), Mr Nghia Truong (2 days from Term 2 onwards); Ms Jasmine Tsolakidis (1 day) and Mr Joseph Xuereb (5 days) .
