FROM THE
Principal’s
DESK
Year 7
Our Year 7 students are transitioning into the College very well. Our Pastoral care Leaders and Year Level co-ordinators
are checking in with the students to ensure their transition is as seamless as possible. Please continue to ring or email us
with any concerns that you may have. It is only through your feedback that we can identify areas that need improving.
The Year 7 camps have started, and it is wonderful to see the students making new friends and enjoying their outdoor
experience. As we watch the Year 12 students celebrate their time at the College, we know that memories of the Year 7
camps are very strong and are always included in the memory pages reflected on at the end of their school years.
Phone Policy
Our students have been marvellous in the manner they have adopted the phone policy. We also appreciate the parental
support for the implementation of the phone policy. It is only through the relationship with parents, staff, and students
that policies such as this are successful. Just a reminder that if a student is seen with a phone at school, it will be
confiscated and will remain at the front office until collected by a parent.
March 15th – COVID Update
We appreciate the parent and student support we have had in managing the virus at the College, whilst also ensuring a
safe environment for our staff and students. Please support your child in making sure they have a suitable mask to wear
at school.
“The use of rapid antigen tests (RATs) as a screening tool will also continue, supported by the distribution of an
additional 24 million free RATs to schools and early childhood settings over the remainder of this term. This is in
addition to the 15.6 million RATs rolled out during the first 4 weeks of Term 1 and means more than 39 million RATs in
total will be delivered to schools and early childhood settings throughout Term 1.
RATs have proved an important COVIDSafe tool to help reduce the number of COVID-19 cases and ensure our schools
are as safe as possible. Their use will remain voluntary for staff and students but are strongly encouraged.
Department of Health modelling indicates that in the first 2 weeks of school returning, the program has already
prevented more than 21,000 cases in schools alone.”
Sports and Athletics
The swimming sports saw some wonderful displays of student endeavour. Congratulations to all the students who were
successful in their events and to those students who entered the events and “gave their best”. Even though they may not
have received a ribbon, they were all awarded points for their House. The carnival, aided by the lovely weather,
provided a wonderful atmosphere which I’m sure the parents who were able to attend would agree with.
Of course, we very much appreciated the presence of our parent supporters who watched their children achieve great
results in the pool. Some were also timekeepers and involved in the many jobs to ensure the success of the carnival. This
emphasises and reinforces the importance of parental participation in children’s education. We have the Athletics
Carnival on Friday 11th March and invite parents to participate, (COVID rules will apply) even if you only attend for a
little time. The carnival will be held at Brauerander Park. The College will be closed for the day and all staff will be
based at Brauerander Park. We look forward to a great day.
RESPECT RESPONSIBILITY PARTICIPATION
Uniform
We believe every student at Brauer College is a school ambassador for our College and wearing our College uniform with
pride shows support and respect for our College community. Our uniform requirements are outlined in many publications
including the College planner and the Parents Bulletin and all students and parents have signed and agreed to our uniform
policy upon enrolment at the College.
We wish to advise that School Council sets the policies of the College. Many of these policies are determined after
consultation with students, parents and staff. O.H. & S issues are also taken into account when making these decisions. This
ensures that our policies reflect our parent community and student attitudes. This includes the Uniform Policy. It clearly
outlines the school’s expectations of what constitutes correct school uniform and what does not. We request that particular
note is taken of the following:
• Blazers are to be worn to and from school every day and to Pastoral Care and Sessions 1 and 2.
• Summer uniform is to be worn every day of Terms 1 and 4; Winter Uniform in terms 2 and 3.
• Piercings and facial hair are not part of the uniform.
Parents and Friends
We are very fortunate to have a hard-working group of parents who address issues across the
College and fundraise where necessary. This dedicated and enthusiastic group will be having a bar-
b-que at Bunnings on 13th March as a fundraiser. Please support this endeavour as all funds go
directly into improving facilities and traditions within the College.

RESPECT RESPONSIBILITY PARTICIPATION
School Photo Day
Students will be issued with details on how to order those, including family photos, on Tuesday 15th Feb in Pastoral
Care time.
Please remember FULL school summer uniform is required on this day and all uniform policies must be adhered to.

The operation of the Hawkesdale pool has been coordinated for many years by a small group of dedicated
volunteers, who have committed many hours every week to ensure that we as a community have access to
