30 Jan 2018
Dear Students and Families of our Year 7 2018 cohort,
Year 7 will start on Tuesday 30th January. Students are asked to meet Mrs Papagianopoulos and Mr Ristevski in the CAPA quad at 9:15am. You will receive your timetable and school diary on your first day of school. Please bring your school bag with lunch and recess, a note book and pencil case with supplies as noted in your Year 7 Student Information Booklet.
In order to help you prepare for the school year, we have attached the equipment requirements for your year group. Students are expected to have books for each course they study. They may not use one lecture style book for all courses. All students are expected to have a calculator for mathematics.
There are a number of dates coming up very soon on the school calendar. Be sure you have downloaded the SkoolBag app to keep up to date (see Useful links ). Search Sir Joseph Banks High School in your app store.
Dates to note soon are:
- Swimming Carnival will be held on February 9th at Max Parker Leisure Centre
- School photo day will be held February 19th.
- Year 7 Camp will be held March 12th – 13th . This year it is being held at Teen Ranch. Instalments can be paid at the office or by POP payments via the website. More information to come.
Full and correct uniform is expected every day. Uniforms can be purchased from Lowes, Bankstown or The School Locker. Opening hours for the School Locker onsite store are available on both the school Website and Facebook page SirJosephBanksHighSchool. Acceptable school shoes are also noted in the Information Booklet. Please ensure that all uniforms and possessions are clearly labelled.
Students at SJBHS participate in a BYOD Programme (Bring Your Own Device Programme), as outlined in the information provided you to on Orientation Day. These will not be required on the first day.
School begins at 8:45am each day following this and we appreciate your assistance in ensuring your child arrives on time.
We look forward to having you with us and hope that you're as excited about the start of your new journey as we are.
