There has been excited buzz around the campus this week as students have been enjoying the College’s Biannual Literature Festival. Over the past 2 days over a dozen well known authors have presented to boys and parents as well as conducting writing workshops in classrooms. There are more exciting activities planned tomorrow, including the Book Character Parade (as well as our Mother’s Day Breakfast). Please do visit the wonderful Book Fair in the Library if you haven’t done so already. Once again, our thanks to Mrs Barnes and the terrific team of parent volunteers for creating such a memorable Literature Festival.

I have become concerned that the car park is being increasingly used as a pedestrian entry and pick-up point by parents. Can I please respectfully request that parents or students do not access the car park on foot at any time. The safety of students and parents, the security of the campus and the efficient operation of the ‘drive through’ facility must be our main priorities. For these reasons there can be no pedestrian access to the school via Harrow Road. Note, the internal door in the car park is locked until 8.00am. The only entry point to the school before these times is via the front entrance of the school on Cambridge Street. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Finally, well done to Angus Ole who recently competed at the NSWPSSA basketball championships in Wollongong as a member of the Boys Primary Combined Independent Schools’ team. The CIS team performed extremely well coming runner up in the grand-final. We are delighted that following his excellent performances, Angus has been selected in the NSW Pacific School Games Team to contest an International Championships to be held in Adelaide later this year.
