Athletics Day
Athletics Day will be on Monday, 08 March. Your son needs to bring his PE gear, or house colours, lunch, a drink bottle, hat and sunscreen. They should come to / from school in uniform.

Day Boy Goal Setting Conferences will run on Thursday, 11 March. This involves a three-way conference with the tutor teacher, student and parent/caregiver. All students are expected to attend with a parent/caregiver. Each conference is allocated a 15-minute time slot.
Year 9 students: the focus is on how their year has started and to address any questions.
Year 10 – 13 students: the focus is goal setting. Boys thrive on having targets and goals to work toward. We see this process as a vital part in your son achieving all he can in 2021, and ensuring that we collectively work toward this. The meeting will focus on what they achieved in 2020, goals for 2021 and the steps they need to take to successfully achieve these goals.
