Yearbook Orders
The 2009 yearbook will soon be completed and sent to the printer. All classes from Prep to Year 12 will feature in the yearbook, and we encourage as many families as possible to place an order. We expect to have the finished product available for distribution on the student free days in 2010.

The cost of the yearbook is $18.00 per copy. A few families paid this money with their levies eariler in the year, but most have not yet ordered. Orders with payment are required at one of the college offices by Friday 4 December.
