Loud Shirt Day

On Friday 23rd October staff acknowledged Loud Shirt day!

Loud Shirt Day is the perfect excuse to wear your brightest clothes and get LOUD and PROUD to raise money to help children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. 

By supporting Loud Shirt Day you are helping more than 600 families across NSW, ACT and TAS who turn to the Shepherd Centre each year for speech and language therapy.

The Shepherd Centre was founded in 1970 with the aim to provide family-centered early intervention programs to teach children, born with a hearing loss to develop their spoken language.

Placements close on 9/11/2020 --- Intention to apply for Year 7 placement in a selective high school in 2022

Dear Parent/Carers,

Selective high schools cater for academically gifted students with high potential who may otherwise be without sufficient classmates at their own academic standard. Selective high schools help these students to learn by grouping them with students of similar ability, and by using specialised teaching methods.

Applications for selective high school placement are considered mainly on the basis of the Selective High School Placement Test results and school assessment scores. The Selective High School Placement Test will be held on Thursday 11 March 2021.

If you would like to have your child considered for Year 7 selective high school entry in 2022, please see the attached file for detailed instructions on how to apply online.
