Welcome to the 2021 Junior School year. We look forward to working with your son/s this year. It was wonderful to meet and greet our new students and families on Monday and hopefully just the right amount of information was received on the day. Along with the information contained in previous correspondence, and with additional class-specific information from your son’s teacher, I am confident we should have most queries covered. Should you need to clarify anything, please do not hesitate to write a note in your son’s diary or give us a call here at the college. Don’t forget to check your junk emails as sometimes (rarely) we have had emails go there instead of your inbox.
To assist with a confident beginning to the school year, we encourage all new students to have written on a note in their school bag/lunch box what their afternoon pickup arrangements are (bus/pick-up/ bike/walking). This will help us ensure new boys get to their correct bus bay in the afternoon. Parents are asked to check the Transport Canberra website to ensure they have the correct bus number for their son. Students who use the ACT bus system will also require a MyWay card.
