Upcoming events this week

mblair

Dear Parents and Carers of Year 9,

I hope you had a great weekend. It was a very busy weekend here at the College and there is no time to pause for a break! See below for what is coming up.

Summer Sport Training

Summer sport training starts tomorrow (Monday). I have posted the summer sport training schedules elsewhere on the blog for your information.

Winter Sport Photos

At the bottom of this post is the schedule for Winter Sport photos. Photos are either Wednesday or Thursday afternoon. Parents of day students can assist by ensuring their son brings their clean winter sport uniform (including clean boots) on the day of their photo.

Father Son Camp

The Year 9 Father Son camp is on this weekend at Colo. I will send a separate email to all parents who have RSVP’d in a few minutes. If you thought you had booked and don’t get a second email, please contact me as soon as possible.

Arrangements for this weekend

As previously advised in emails, sport is not compulsory for Year 9 boys on Saturday as many will be heading to Colo. If you are heading to Colo on Friday night, please enter a boardingware overnight request. If your son is not going to Colo but you would like him to have an overnight on Friday night, please also enter a boardingware overnight request. The Year 9 dorms will be closed on Saturday night so full boarders not attending Colo will also have to enter leave for Saturday night.

Weekly boarders and day boys staying in dorms on weekends (IMPORTANT)

On weekends I am happy to accommodate weekly boarders in the dorms if possible, and occasionally day students. However I do need notice from you early during the week before please as I have to order meals for them by Thursday and organise staffing. There were quite a number of boys who appeared in the dorms last night to stay without any notice to me from their parents or them. This resulted in a few difficulties sourcing extra food and some extra work last night trying to account for them all. Your assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

I hope you have a great week.

Regards,

Mick
