24.01.2022 RETURN TO TERM 3 School returns on Monday July 13 with all students at Crusoe College expected to attend classes on-site. Any student who is unwell should seek medical advice and not return to school until they have no symptoms of illness. The media information you may have seen about extended holidays only applies to schools in Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire. We look forward to welcoming all students back on Monday.

24.01.2022 Yesterday our Year 7 students headed off on their Orientation Camp to Billabong Ranch near Echuca.

We look forward to hearing all about their adventures when they retun to school next week.

24.01.2022 Earlier this week a small group of our students were fortunate enough to watch former world welterweight champion Horn, his challenger Zerafa and rising Australian boxing star Brock Jarvis go through a light workout on the ropes and with the gloves. They also met with Jeff Fenech. A great experience.

At this stage, the return date for students at the start of Term 2 is Wednesday April 15.

If your child needs to collect belongings from the school in preparation for this, please come to the school between 2:00 and 3:00pm on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Parent Teacher Interviews that were scheduled for this week have been postponed to a date to be fixed during Term 2. Interim reports will be available for parents on Compass from tomorrow morning.
