Dear Parents & Guardians,

Welcome back to the 2014 school year. I trust that all families had a relaxing and refreshing vacation. The boys have settled quickly and there is an air of excitement around the school.

New Online Diary for Year 7-12 – Every boy is now accessing his own personalised Online Diary. This is a place for parents to also communicate to teachers. Please ask your son to give you a demonstration and help you to login through your SPACES account.

Dr Andrew Hirst
