Staffing News
We welcome back Mr Brad Waller and Mrs Deb Skelly following Long Service leave.

Uniform
A reminder that in Term 4 girls wear the summer dress and should wear the white summer hat to and from school.

Please ensure that your daughter removes any necklaces or bracelets before returning to school on Monday. Earrings should be plain studs or sleepers. Further details about the uniform and jewellery expectations are available on SEQTA Engage or in the front pages of the student diary.

Homework Timetables
Please find below the updated Middle School Homework Timetables for Term 4.

Camp Preferences 2025
Year 7 and 8 parents will receive a link to an online form to record their preferences for the Outdoor Education Experiences in 2025. The online form will be available until Friday 1 November. Any changes to preferences following this date will need to be made via email to Rhiannon Giles.

Girls in these year levels will meet with Dr Giles early in Term 4 to discuss how Core Groups for 2025 are constructed and how they will be able to also have input to this process via an online form recording their friendship requests.

Middle School Social
The Middle School Social was a huge success and $3900 was raised for the Round Square Foundation. Thank you to all the students and staff who attended and made the event such a success.

Photos of the event are available for purchase using the following link.

Oliphant Science Award Winners
Congratulations to Nidhi Sinhal (8 Carob) and Shaya Ismail (9 Antholiza) for their success in the 2024 Oliphant Science Awards.

Touch Football
Congratulations to Fleur Croser (9 Sparaxis) who recently competed at the State School Sport Girls Touch Football Competition. Senior School students, Jasmine Thirwell (12 Antholiza) and Bella Browning (11 Antholiza), were also involved and are pictured with Fleur.

Middle School Showdown
At the end of last term, the Middle School Showdown was held at lunch. It was a wonderful collaboration between the Middle and Senor School SRC girls and involved a range of activities across Year 7, 8 and 9. The House Captains were there to encourage spirit and representatives from each Middle School Form competed for their House.

Congratulations to Antholiza who won the day.

Celebrating the Mid-Autumn festival
To celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival, some Year 8 and 9 Students played murder mystery games and shared dinner together. Thank you to Vivian Han and Angela Sciberras-Xiong for their support of this initiative.

School Policies and Codes of Conduct
A reminder to parents that policies, guidelines and codes of conduct are available on SEQTA Engage under the documents tab.
