From the Head of Campus Broadmeadows - Ms Erin Bonavia Vol 5

It is hard to believe we now only have two weeks of term to go until school holidays.

I commend students for their perseverance this term as they adjusted to the routine of attending school again, developing personal organisational skills and interacting with peers. I know there are families who have experienced Covid-19 in their household this term leading to periods of isolation and additional stress. The holidays are a time to re-set and recharge for term two. It is also a time to reflect, and I encourage you to talk to your child about what has worked well this term and what could be even better in Term 2. I wish all students and their families an enjoyable break.

The next two weeks will be a busy finish to the end of term. Our Year 9 students are participating on Year 9 Camp this week and we wish them an enjoyable experience.

College Athletics Carnival
We have our College Athletics Carnival on Tuesday 5 April, which is always an enjoyable experience as our whole school comes together to participate and show House spirit. A reminder that the College Athletics Carnival is a compulsory school event and any student absences on this day requires a medical certificate. Year 12 students however who have a TAFE class scheduled on this day are to please attend TAFE.

Uniform
I would like to thank students and families for their support of our College uniform and acknowledge the many students who wear their uniform with pride. The holidays are a time to locate winter uniform items as the cooler weather approaches and/or look to replace any uniform items missing. I ask that you remind your child about our uniform expectations to help them in their choices i.e. hair cuts, acrylic nails, piercings right before school that will be in breach of our uniform expectations. Thank you for your support.
