School Council - I am in search of new members of the school council. I would like 3 teachers
who have not served on the council recently to join our monthly meetings. This group is made up
of equal numbers of teachers, parents, and students and is entrusted with shaping the direction of
the school in a number of areas. We meet one afternoon a month for about an hour. If you’re
interested, please let me know.

Uniforms/Dress Code
Great job setting the tone for the school year! Students in classrooms and in the shops look good!
There is always a little maintenance needed to get all students uniform at the start of the school year.
Please reach out to any member of the leadership team for support in this area. Students in
classrooms should be dressed for a school audience.
