OPEN DAY

The Open Day is an opportunity for students to sample life at Burdekin Catholic High School. Students from St Francis School and St Colman’s School will not need to indicate their attendance. However, students from other schools need to indicate their acceptance through parents phoning the school office (4783 2366) prior to the Open Day for planning and resourcing purposes. Students will meet at the O’Brien Centre between 8.30am and 9.00am.

Students’ attendance will be recorded. Students will be given an introduction to the school and to each other, then engage with aspects of high school curriculum for the rest of the day. Parents are welcome to attend the introduction with their child. The Open Day will conclude at 2.30pm in the Marcellin Centre. Parents may pick their child up from this time on.

The school will provide supervision to students until they are picked up.
