Please don't hesitate to contact the teachers above regarding your daughter's progress and any concerns you may have. Likewise, the teachers will make contact with you and your daughter about course materials, assessment tasks and the variety of supports available throughout the year.

There are many excellent opportunities for your daughter beyond the classroom - namely our College History Club, Mock Mediation and Mock Trial teams. I encourage every student to take up the many wonderful co-curricular offerings at the College.
