Friday Afternoon Arrangements for Year 10
Year 10 boys have compulsory activities including Community Service, Cadets and Leadership Training on Friday afternoons.
As there is not the usual 20 minute sessions for Chapel or House meetings on Fridays, as on other days of the week, the end of school on Friday is 3.05pm.
Communication Between School and Home
Absences
Please contact the College by phone or email regarding your son's absence early in the morning of the day of his absence. The parents of all boys whose absence is not accounted for in Tutor Period will be contacted. Please assist the School by contacting us if your son will be absent.
Contact details: Student Services on 9383 6928 or seniorschool@scotch.wa.edu.au.
When a boy returns to school following an absence, he should bring with him a note signed by a parent or guardian explaining the reason. This note should be left at the Student Services Office (located directly opposite the main entrance to the Dickinson Centre). Absence notes should be clearly printed and show the boy's name, initials, House and year group.
Leave During the Day or Late Arrival
If a boy needs to leave school during the day for an appointment, he will require a note from a parent explaining the leave. He should present this at the Student Services Office to the Attendance Officer, who will record his departure and return. Boys who are late on more than two occasions in one month without parental approval will be issued with an after school detention.
Cycle Helmets and Registration
Boys must wear and fasten an approved cycle helmet when cycling to and from school. Boys in the Senior School have been told that those who wish to cycle to school must register this fact (even if they have registered in previous years) before school with Mr Burt or their House Head by Friday 13 February. When boys register they must produce their cycle helmet with their name neatly and clearly marked on it and provide the serial number of their bicycle, together with a description of the bicycle, including the colour and the maker's name. Helmets are not to be disfigured with lettering, additional painting or stickers.
Car Drivers and Registration
Boys in Year 12 wishing to drive to school are required to register with Mr Burt. Application forms are to be completed and signed by a parent.
SmartRider Cards
Smartrider Cards will be automatically issued to new Senior School boys following Photo Day, Monday, Week 2 in Summer Term.
