School notices

McKinnon staff will have a Professional Practice Day on 2 November, so students are not required at school that day. Teachers will post lesson plans on Compass for work to complete at home, and there will be no school on Melbourne Cup Day (3 November) as it is a public holiday.

Learning update

All students completing a Unit 3/4 subject will undertake practice exams during the second week of the holidays, from 28 September to 1 October. The timetable has been shared with students, and they must attend in full school uniform.
