Times of the Academy Day

Punctuality is of the utmost importance.  Students must arrive at the academy gates by 8.20 am daily.  Sanctions will be applied where students are persistently late.

There are many opportunities for students in years 7 – 10 to participate in a range of enrichment opportunities beyond the classroom.  We encourage all students to commit to at least two enrichment activities weekly.
