GOROKE <strong>P12</strong> COLLEGE<br />

Principal’s Report Continued<br />

Last week, 2 of our Advance Police<br />

Youth Corps students attended the Police Remembrance<br />

Day in Horsham to assist with the<br />

ceremony. Thank you to Sean Maybery and<br />

Sam Crick for giving some of their holiday time<br />

to such a worthy cause.<br />

Attached to this week’s newsletter is<br />

a Departmental brochure about attendance<br />

at school. We occasionally have cause for<br />

concern about the number of absences<br />

some students accumulate and would like<br />

to make all parents aware of the benefits of<br />

regular attendance at school. Over a year,<br />

school takes up only 40 weeks. To miss 10<br />

days or more is starting to impact on your<br />

child’s learning. Please contact the school if<br />

your child is going to be absent for an extended<br />

time and we can organise for some<br />

work to be sent home for your child.<br />

It is fourth term and time to put<br />

broad brims on again in the school<br />

yard. Please be aware that if your child<br />

does not wear a broad brimmed hat at<br />

school, they will be limited to undercover<br />

areas only for recess and lunchtime.<br />

Students have been excellent to<br />

date at ensuring that they remain sunsafe.<br />
