At the end of last term, I wrote to parents advising them of changes to the way they would log in to School Applications. Over the break, we have had a great take up of this new process and some positive feedback on this change.
For parents who may have missed the email, this is a reminder of the process to get set up with the new Single Sign On.
All Parents will be provided with a Single Sign-on (SSO) username and the ability to set up a new password. The username will be created using the email addresses registered with the College.
This new process will simplify the way Parents access school information, and will also provide Parents with a new dedicated Landing Page to access College systems.
To ensure a smooth transition to the new system, the following timeline will be adopted:

Since COVID-19 lockdowns, people are using devices such as laptops and mobile phones, even more than before. This is causing issues with students’ eyes, such as eye strain, tired eyes, headaches and intermittent or constant blur. This is called Computer Vision Syndrome.
*MOBILEYES OPTOMETRY PROVIDES FULLY BULK BILLED EYE CHECKS TO ALL STUDENTS WITH A VALID MEDICARE CARD.
Mobileyes optometrists are highly trained to fully assess not only visual acuity, but also eye teeming, accommodation, and binocular skills, all of which make up the visual system.
Vision is responsible for more than 80 per cent of learning.
Our optometrists assess the students and offer training, advice and eye exercises, and can even provide free glasses, if eligible, through Vision Australia. We receive beautiful up-to-date spectacle frames via generous donations, to ensure all students get really nice glasses which they are happy to wear. These are far nicer than the standard vision care glasses, and FREE to eligible students.
Vision is the most important sense for learning, as it is used to process information. More than 80% of all learning is visual.
Behavioural Optometrists are trained to not only correct vision issues, but also help prevent the vision changes in the first place, by using early intervention methods such as readers and/or eye exercises. Onsite services save busy parents, time and money.
On the day students are assessed as follows:
Our details are on the reports, for parents to email or call for further information, if needed.
Once the reports are received, students who need glasses via this service can contact us directly for more information, or send their Centrelink statements up front with their child’s consent form, so that glasses can be fitted with the student on the day, reducing time delays.
To be eligible for the NSW Spectacles Program, Centrelink Recipients must:

Each week, O Group – comprising the Senior Rank of RHQ and Company Commanders – meets on Monday afternoons to plan the upcoming weeks’ Cadet activities and set the Routine Orders to be passed down the Chain of Command.
The Chain of Command is an important aspect in building trust in the Unit, and is part of the incremental leadership training our rank undertake when fulfilling their responsibilities.
Passing commands down the Chain of Command says to lower ranks, “I trust you in your role and I trust you with this information. I know that you will pass it on for the care of your cadets.” To the higher ranks it says, “I trust that the information you are giving me is correct and I respect that you have entrusted me with this duty.” The Chain of Command is an effective communication tool that allows all to work together for the good of the Unit.
A COY COMD – CUO Matteo Paolella
At O Group on Monday, the SUO reminded all rank of the importance of respect when communicating with cadets. This was reflected also at the Leadership Assembly this week, when the Unit’s Logistics Warrant Officer, WO2 Bert Cottell, in his role as College Vice Captain, spoke of the importance of servant leadership and treating people with respect.
The motto for the Class of 2023, “Speak with Respect. Act with Integrity”, is an important message for all to consider and one that we heartily support in the Cadet Unit.
Senior Cadet Under Officer (SUO) – CUO Kayla Heng
In a compulsory activity, there are always going to be cadets who use their strength of character in unhelpful ways, and addressing these cases with maturity and respect is not always easy, but it is a part of growing up, and learning how to deal with these difficult situations will stand our cadets in good stead in the adult world.
For cadets who make poor behaviour choices on Friday afternoons, there is a simple Charge System to remind them of the importance of working together for the greater good. If your son or daughter has incurred one or more of these 15-minute charges, this will be spent with me the following week, giving back to the Unit the time they have taken from training, in a tangible way in Q Store. I thank you for your support as we work towards respectful and enjoyable relationships across all platoons.
We wish our CAS Milskills Team all the best tomorrow, as they compete in the CAS Military Skills Competition against Barker, Knox, Trinity and St Aloysius’ for the coveted trophy, and thank them for their diligence and commitment to Milskills training across Term 3:
Meg O’Connor and Oliver Malzard (Team Leaders), Rohan Baker, James Birbas, Deuchar Dezarnaulds, Remy Frampton, Archie Godby, Emma Hartwig, Lachlan Isaac, Thomas Jackson-Whitlock, Declan McAuliffe, Campbell McCarthy, Robert Muir, Hayley Paddock, Campbell Porteus, Ruben Stock and Aodhan Williams.
