- Please note there were no nominations for cultural or community service in this term.
We are looking forward to celebrating with all three year levels in July. Remember that Year 7 celebrate each term (2,3,4) and Years 8 and 9 each semester.
YEAR 7 CAMP – UPDATE
Year 7 camp will be running in Week 7 and heading to Noosa. We have over 100 students that will be attending the camp. Thank you. See you all on camp!
If your young person is not attending camp, school attendance is expected as normal classes will still be timetabled with a focus on consolidation of work and revision to not disadvantage students attending camp.
WORK EXPERIENCE 2024
Year 9 students have the opportunity to participate in Work Experience during Term 3 Week 10.
This experience may enable students to participate in Work Experience as an opportunity to trial for a school Based Certificate III Traineeship in Year 10 or 11.
All Year 9 students have received a Parent and Caregiver information form and a Work Experience Employer Information form. If any student has not received a Parent and Caregiver information form and a Work Experience information form, please see Ms Willmott in A Block Student Services.
Work Experience Placements for School Student forms requires a student and parent signature. When a willing employer is found they must complete and sign the Work Experience Placement for School Students form and the Risk Assessment form.
The completed forms are to be returned to A Block Junior Secondary Student Services office by the end of Week 10 Term 2 (7 June 2024).
E-BIKES AND E-SCOOTERS
Palm Beach police officers spoke with all year levels at recent assemblies with a reminder on the speed limits, rules and fines.
