Principal’s Report Camps Week We would like to thank all parents for their support with camps week. There was a lot to get done with payments, filling in all paperwork and preparing your child physically and emotionally to spend a week away from home! We look forward to the students returning next week for the last two weeks of tuition before the school break. We are sure they will make many new memories and friendships on their camps. WMYC On Show On Wednesday 18th March all WMYC families are invited to our ‘On Show’ event. On the night there will be school tours, Interactive subject displays, Year 7 transition information, career conversations and a presentation by Dr Michael Carr-Gregg on Raising Happy and Resilient Young People. We look forward to seeing you there for the evening or even a short time. Please visit our website for more information.
