By Genevieve Feron | Posted: Wednesday November 29, 2023

The end of the school year is fast approaching, and we have a lot happening. The information attached should answer any questions about the finer details, but if not, please feel free to contact your child’s classroom teacher.

Our assemblies are live-streamed and recorded, so you can watch from work or home if you cannot attend. You can watch these via our YouTube channel. The easiest way to find that is to search ‘Casebrook Live’ in the YouTube search bar.

Students must meet at the designated meeting spot at 6 pm. The assigned area will be discussed with students by their classroom teachers. Two tickets can be booked per family.

Casebrook Intermediate is taking students to Jellie Park. We have organised this ‘Big Day Out’ to thank our students for their positive attitude and commitment towards our school community this year. The trip will be FREE for students. If students would like to go on the hydro slide, they can pay $7 to the school payment box before the trip. A letter went home yesterday with information about this.

Last Day for Year 8:

The last day includes the following events:

Year 8 Non-Uniform for Uniform Donation Scheme:

On their last day, we invite the Year 8 students to donate their uniforms to the second-hand uniform stocks. If students bring uniform items, they can wear non-uniform on this day.

Shirt Signing:

It has been a tradition for quite some time now that Year 8 leavers are given the opportunity to have their school shirts signed. This is an organised event for Year 8s with permission. Some families opt to send a plain t-shirt to be signed instead.
