• Paul Dillon presentation
• Student safety and traffic management
• Swimming

I indicated a couple of weeks ago that we would invite the Christ Church community to watch Paul Dillon’s latest presentation on the topic of drugs, alcohol and vaping. Paul has recorded this presentation especially for the Christ Church community and it is available to view via the Year Group Notices and Nexus. During the session, Paul provided up-to-date and accurate information on the use of e-cigarettes and vaping, including the potential harms associated with the use of these devices, particularly for young people.

Student safety and traffic management around the school precinct are constant concerns for our community.  All too often we have a spate of near misses involving boys crossing major roads within the vicinity of the school. All boys have received numerous requests and instructions on where and how to cross these roads in a safe manner. The School is very pleased to have the manned school crossing on Queenslea Drive for the boys and the traffic lights to cross at Stirling Highway. We continue to work with the local and state authorities to improve all aspects of road safety around the School.

It was great to see our Quads Swimming Team score a resounding victory leading into mid-term. Now they are prepared for their quest to challenge for the PSA title tonight at HBF Stadium. It looks like it is going to be the closest competition for our School swim team for many years.
