Excursion / event notes

Excursions are arranged for students in Years 7–12 and are designed to complement the program of work being studied in class. Before attending a school excursion, parental permission must be provided. Permission notes are sent out to parents digitally via School Bytes to be filled and submitted.

When a class is taken on an excursion all students must wear full school uniform unless otherwise advised. Students are expected to behave in a responsible, safe and courteous manner, remembering the School Behaviour Code at all times. Students whose record of behaviour has been judged unacceptable may be placed on a “withdrawal of privileges” list that may prevent them from participating in excursions, school dances or other extra-curricular activities for a specified period of time.

Geography competition
All students have the opportunity each year to participate in the National Geography Competition. All interested students should see the Head Teacher for Human Society & Its Environment (HSIE) or their Geography teacher for more information.
