This document provides information for students returning to school after time off. It begins by welcoming students and teachers back and introducing house leaders and tutors. It then presents the school vision to create a strong team with common goals, a vibrant house identity, cohesion, hard work, positive behavior, and student safety. New policies are outlined, including consequences for behavior points, ways to earn achievement points, and the importance of 100% attendance for learning. Students are reminded to embody the school's respect ethos.

1. Respect - Behaviour - Pride - Success
“Quality is the exclusion of chance”
