College Information Please make sure all student items are clearly labelled Everything from lunch containers to items of clothing end up in Student Services. With the cooler weather, it has been noticed that a lot of student jumpers do not have a name written on the inside tag. Please make sure your son’s property is clearly labelled so Mrs Giancaspro and Mrs Gordon can attempt to reunite the owner with his lost property.

Uniform Shop Opening Hours The Uniform Shop will be closed during the holidays and will resume for normal business when school returns in Term 3.

Student drop off and pick up Students can be dropped off and collected from Ellen or Stirling Streets. For safety reasons, please do not use High Street for this purpose.
