It refreshes you and manages your stress and emotions, and being able to do something both fun and self-beneficial whilst supporting a great cause is great and feels great as well. Almost anyone can walk, ride or run, so everyone should give it a go and chip in for the good cause."

Lateness to School:
-
A student who arrives after 8:50 should report to the front office where they will be signed in to school. Late students who do not have a justified reason will be issued with a detention in room 9 during Lunch 1. Failure to attend this detention will result in an afternoon detention.
-
Repeated late arrivals to school may result in further disciplinary action by the Deputy Principals.
-
Any late student who does not sign in at the front office will be marked absent for the whole day.
-
Students who arrive late and do not have a late slip will not be admitted into class.
