Warm Weather Update: To help keep learners comfortable, uniform expectations have been temporarily adapted. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will keep parents and carers updated with any further information. Lessons will be moved to the coolest locations possible (including afternoon PE). We have hydration stations around school. During Break and Lunch there will be indoor bases with Air con for learners to sit inside.
