Dean of Students | Mr Damien Cuddihy

The boys have transitioned back to face to face learning quite well this week. The College will continue to promote daily personal hygiene practices, including using water bottles and washing hands throughout the day. We are continually evaluating the behaviour patterns of the boys and will look to adjust our standard protocols as required in the coming weeks. Further to this, a current focus is introducing the practice of students moving directly into rooms and sitting down prior to the arrival of the teacher. This modification aims to reduce the numbers of students standing in the corridors in certain areas around the school. 

We are currently reviewing Term 3 events including camps, retreats, the Year 12 Formal and the Year 11 Leadership camp. We are hopeful that in the next few weeks the College will be able to provide some clarity for these events once the government provides further information about the easing of restrictions. 

I have spent some time at the bus stops and train station this week and have noticed that there are a few students who do not have go-cards topped up or are out of date. Can I ask that you check with your son that his go-card is active and usable? The standard of winter uniform has been solid throughout the week. A gentle reminder that boys will be issued with short detentions if they fail to obtain a uniform card from their House Dean if an item of the uniform has been left at home. The boys are very aware of this process. It has also been evident that some of our older students enjoyed not having to shave while at home and have returned to school a little out of practice with shaving. Your support on this matter is appreciated.
