School uniforms and Churchie school bags

I commend our Senior School students who have been wearing their uniforms correctly this year so far. Thank you to parents and guardians for your support in upholding Churchie’s high standards in this regard.

I would like to draw your attention to the rules pertaining to school bags on campus.

The Churchie schoolbag is a mandatory part of the school uniform, for all students, and is used daily. Where necessary, for Health and Physical Education (HPE) lessons or cocurricular activities, boys may use a Churchie sports bag or Churchie backpack.

However, the Churchie sports bag or backpack may only be carried between classes if a student is directly moving from, or going to a HPE class. For example, a boy with an HPE lesson in period two will take his Churchie sports bag or Churchie backpack to period one. That bag should then be stored in his locker at recess for the remainder of the day. Where students are using a Churchie sports bag or Churchie backpack without good reason, staff will address this and administer a sanction as necessary. A small number of boys have special dispensation to use their bags and will have a suitable note from the housemaster.  

Furthermore, please note that no other bags (including sporting team representative bags) are to be used at school. Any such bag will be confiscated, to be collected from MS25 in the same manner as mobile phones, resulting in a Friday detention.

Study Hub

Study Hub is a great way for students to access support with their classwork and assignments, access library resources, or just have a quiet place to work. In all cases, students are required to come up with specific tasks to complete or with questions to ask.

Support and supervision are provided by teachers, teacher aides, students and Old Boys.

The goals for Study Hub are:

• for a student to work collaboratively with a peer, specialist staff, talented senior students and Old Boys 
• to help students understand classwork, homework or assessments
• to help students catch up with missed work in a supported environment.

To view the Term 1 schedule for Study Hub is available on myChurchie. Also,  Study Hub resources and tutorials are available on The Centenary Library’s portal.
