Student Tax File Numbers CBC Fremantle is authorised to process Tax File Numbers for students. It is a much simpler process by applying through the College than other methods, which require identification points.

Students who are wanting part time or casual work need to obtain a form from Mr Joel Moss or Student Services. It is recommended that all students should apply for a Tax File Number through the College before they graduate or leave for employment.

Week 2 Tip Be active with your son. Go for a walk with him after dinner instead of watching TV and playing X-Box. Try it twice a week for starters.

Bike helmets are compulsory It is fantastic to see so many students riding their bikes to school and we encourage more students to do the same.

However, the wearing of bike helmets in Australia is compulsory and you risk being fined if you do not.

Did you know? • Cyclists who do not wear helmets are twice as likely to suffer head, brain and facial injuries as cyclists who wear helmets. • Non-helmeted cyclists are three times more likely to be killed.
