In 2022 the College moved away from Flexischools for buses, which triggered an internal review of Flexischools use within the Café. From 2023, the Café will be utilising the online ordering platform Spriggy Schools. Please refer to previous communication for online ordering.

Secondary School

Lockers and Timetables – Locker distribution will be emailed to students.

Students are moving to new lockers in 2023 based on their House group rather than the year group.

Student Timetables will be available online via SEQTA by Friday 20 January. There will be some changes to the timing of lunch on Wednesday and Thursday next year to support our involvement in the inaugural NISSA Secondary Sports Competition. Mrs Gregory wrote to families about this earlier in the year, and that correspondence can be seen here.

Student Diaries will be distributed in the first week of Term 1 2023.

Secondary School

Timetables are still being finalised and will be communicated to families on Monday which will include information on where to go on the first day and also what to wear.
