The NCEA Review was released on Tuesday and the overview can be read at
NCEA Change Package Overview 2019. As noted, the NCEA fee of $76.70 has
been removed and our accounts department is working to refund any NCEA fees
paid for 2019, or if preferred, the amount can be reassigned to pay for other fees
owing, such as tournament week fees. This will take a little time for our accounts
staff to process, so please be patient.

able to deliver the 'Loves Me Not' Program to all of our Year 12
students on Thursday 30th May. It will be a whole day workshop
facilitated by Police and teaching staff. The programme is

relationships and how to read signs of unsafe relationships. The Caps: $6.00
Bucket hats: $8.00
messages that are delivered by the programme are extremely
important for students to enable them to identify healthy

regards to their relationships now and in the future. All Year 12
students are expected to be at school and to participate in this
beneficial program. Below is some key information regarding
the Loves Me Not program and more information can be found
