PRINCIPAL REPORT It is a very busy time of year with exams and early commencement having taken place over the last couple of weeks. The 2014 Year 7 SEAL students had a special orientation day last Friday and the feedback from these students was glowing. The End of Year Summer Timetable program for Years 7-9 was handed out to students last week. There has been a huge response, with many students choosing to participate in the activities. This is a great opportunity for students to try something new and fun. The teachers who are not running the activities will be very busy planning for 2014. Please see our website www.mcguire.co.vic.edu.au under recent news, where there is more information about our end of year program. Education Maintenance Allowance If you have a health care card please call into school and fill in the form for the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA). Please see more information on page 1.
