When it is time for your photo, you will enter the gym and will need to line up ready for the photo.
It is the responsibility of all students to make sure only the people who were involved in the activity are in the photo, please speak up if you think someone is there who should not be.
If it is found that an ‘extra’ is in a photo, then that photo may not be included in the magazine.

Grade 10 Exams
21 Jul 2021
Science – Monday 26th July
Maths – Tuesday 27th July
The exams will be held in the students normal subject time and involve content from the whole year so far. The exams aim to give the students practise in study skills and exam conditions.
A students mark may be bumped up by a good result in the exam, but will not be bumped down.
All students have time during class this week to revise, but would also benefit from some extra revision at home. Students can access resources for this on the Science and Maths canvas pages.

Welcome back for Term 3
20 Jul 2021
Following on from a direction from the Tasmanian Government, we now have some changed arrangements in place for parents and carers when visiting schools.
You will now need to check in using the Check-in TAS app when entering school buildings; this includes classrooms, and the office.
Students are also NOT required to check-in, these arrangements only apply to adults.
We have posters displayed in and around the school site with the QR code to use for checking in.
For those who do not have a smart phone and need to manually check-in, please come to the school office for assistance.
We appreciate your support in ensuring we are doing the right thing.
