Based in the old school uniform shop, at the western end of the main oval, (Corio Avenue) a full range of summer and winter second-hand school uniform items are available at great prices.
The shop will open every Wednesday commencing 13 November from 3:30-4:15pm. Sales are to be paid with card. The proceeds from the shop will be spread evenly between Caritas Australia and Terra Tomodachi.
Donations of second-hand uniforms can also be left at the shop each Wednesday.

As part of the move towards digitising our College yearbooks and magazines for archival purposes, we are putting out a request for a copy of the 1981 Sacred Heart College magazine.
Additionally, if anyone has any Sacred Heart College magazines or booklets, between the years 1941-1976, we would love to hear from you.
We have managed to source all other magazines from Sacred Heart College (1977-1983), St Colmans College (1974-1983) and Notre Dame College (1984-present) and are very appreciative of those that have assisted with this.
If you have a copy of the missing yearbooks or magazines and are happy for them to be scanned and returned, you can get in touch via the Notre Dame College email ndc@notredame.vic.edu.au or by calling the College office on 5822 8400.

Last week, our Unit 1 and 2 Outdoor Environmental Studies students embarked on their final camp of the year to the Bogong High Plains in Victoria's alpine area.
The students have been busy planning for this camp since the end of Term 3. From their first canoe camp (where they required a lot of guidance) to now being able to lead their peers with great confidence, their progress has been amazing to observe!
Outdoor Environmental Studies is a fantastic subject that teaches important skills, encouraging students to consider not only themselves but others as well.
We wish them the best of luck in their future studies for Units 3 and 4.
Parents, if your child needs a leave pass during the day it would be preferred that you do NOT phone or email as our office staff may be busy with other tasks. Please do not leave requests for leave passes on the absence line—this is for absences only.
INSTEAD:
Write your child a note the morning of appointment, requesting to leave school at a specific time (if collecting at 2:00PM make your Leave Pass Note for 10 minutes before).
The student will then have their note signed by Head of House / Community before Pastoral Group.
When it’s time to leave the student will show the signed leave pass to their classroom teacher to be excused.
The student will then show their note to Staff at Student Reception and will sign out using the kiosk.
Parent/guardians will meet the student in the front of the College.
** in extenuating circumstances you can call the office and we will do our best to get a message to them in a timely manner
