Part of your introduction to the Senior School is an opportunity to meet with your child’s Head of House.
Please ensure you book a New Parent Conference with your child’s Head of House. This conference will be an opportunity to discuss Semester 1, 2023 unit selections as well as raise any other information relevant to your child.
