If this occurs three times, a letter will be sent home including a Detention Notice.

The letter will be filed in Student Records in order to keep a profile off the student’s application to her PDHPE course. Further breaches of this rule will result in serious consequences, as the student is not able to diligently fulfil the learning outcomes of the mandatory Years 7 to 10 PDHPE course.,
