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.

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.
