School Contributions and
‘Authority to Publish’ Next week you will receive a School Contribution invoice and explanation letter along with an ‘Authority to Publish’ permission letter. There is one authority to publish letter for each student and these are required to be filled out and returned, as soon as possible, to the school.
These ‘Authority to Publish’ letters need to be handed in at rollcall or to the front office. There will be a collection box near the student services desk in which they can be put. These letters must be returned on or before Friday 27 February.
The school contributions go directly to provide resources for all students within the school. Years 10, 11 & 12 contribution includes a ticket to their Yr 12 school formal, Yr 11 school jacket or a Yr 10 welcome to senior high school evening ticket.
We would greatly appreciate prompt payment of these invoices to enable the school to fully support your child. Any parent suffering hardship need only approach the school for assistance.

Save the Heart of Huskisson As I am sure you will all know by now, Save the Heart of Huskisson (a coalition of residents, business and tourism associations in the Bay and Basin region) has successfully lobbied council to 'put in a tender' to try and buy the land at 59 Owen Street, Huskisson, to preserve the magnetic views and open space. While this is a great outcome for us, it is not an outright win as we don't know if their tender will be successful.
We have good reason to believe there are community-minded decision-makers at Council (and at Club Jervis Bay) who are keen to see this block brought into council/public ownership, and every sign that they are supported by the community will help. While we know it is ambitious, we are continuing to crowdfund and we only have until the 11th February to get the total up as high as possible. Any amount you feel you can pledge towards this cause will help towards our goal. Please go to ozcrowd.com/heart and share with your networks.
