User Agreement - Laptop Check

Be aware.  Be safe and secure.  Be prepared.

We have agreed to use the laptop correctly and to take care of our devices. During weeks 6 to 9, Pastoral Care teachers will 'check in' to ensure: laptops have covers, no breakages or cracks, and that devices are functioning properly.access.Let's work together to ensure that this valuable device is kept safe and secure both at school and at home.  

Thank you for your assistance in ensuring students maintain their laptops properly and abide by the user agreement.

Child Safety Committee

Thank you to everyone who applied to be on the Child Safety Committee. Applications have now closed. Successful applicants will be notified in the very near future to begin their task of discussing ways to keep our community safe both online and face to face.

Mr Len Tobin, Director of Wellbeing and Engagement

As we enjoy the outdoors and make the most of the sunny weather, it's important to remember the long-term benefits of staying sun-safe. Protecting ourselves from the sun’s UV rays is crucial not only for our skin but also for our overall health. In Victoria, UV levels are higher from mid-August to the end of April.

SunSmart practices help maintain healthy skin, reducing the likelihood of skin conditions.

SunSmart practices include:

Slip on a Shirt
Wearing a protective shirt helps cover your skin and reduce direct sun exposure. It’s an easy way to stay safe while staying comfortable outdoors.

Slop on Sunscreen
Sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays. It’s a quick and effective way to reduce the risk of sunburn and keep your skin healthy.

Slap on a Hat
A wide-brimmed hat helps protect your face, neck, and ears from the sun. It’s one of the easiest ways to keep cool and shield sensitive areas from burning.

Seek Shade
Whenever possible, find some shade—especially during the hottest part of the day. This helps you stay cooler and gives your skin a break from direct sunlight.

Slide on Sunglasses
Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays, helping to reduce the risk of eye damage and keeping you comfortable in the sun.

By following these simple steps, we can enjoy the outdoors safely while protecting our health. Let’s work together to make sure everyone in our school community stays SunSmart!

The Loaves and Fishes Food Bank program at Holy Eucharist Parish, gave me Calvin and Shyam the opportunity to pack food and drink boxes for people in our community who may experiencing hardships. It also gave us a great chance to bond with all the other volunteers and get to know them. They were all so kind and gave us a few snacks and treats. It was an amazing experience and I hope to visit again some time in the future.

Last week the Year 10 cohort began their Morrisby Online Assessment Tool.

The Morrisby assessment tool measures 5 career-related abilities to provide a complete accurate profile. This tool will provide the students:

• unique strengths and weaknesses
• lifetime 24/7 access
• careers information
• personalised recommendations
• management portal

Students are soundly tested in a variety of ways that will guide them towards a particular career pathway. The fact that once they create an account, they have it for life is a bonus. If at any time they wish to move in a different direction, then they can and Morrisby will be able to guide them further.

The whole process will take 2-3 hours; however, the students will work on the program in segments during Pastoral Care time.

The Year 10 Family Night will be an informative evening with universities, sporting groups and Brimbank Council coming along to provide more information on student pathways.  I will also be on hand if you would like to know about the Morrisby Online Assessment Tool.

Warmest regards

Ms Lee-Ann Steele, Careers & Pathway leader
