Green and Gold this Wednesday 16th August
We are all so excited to have the Australian Women's Soccer Team progress to the Semi Finals of the World Cup this Wednesday night. To show our support for the Australian Matildas team we are asking that all students at ACC wear their sports gear this Wednesday 16th August.
With their sports gear, they are invited to replace an item of uniform with something green or gold or Matildas merchandise. Students may wish to wear yellow and gold beanies, hair ribbons or socks too.
Let's get behind our National Soccer team and have some fun on Wednesday turning our school Green and Gold!
Book Week Dress Up & Parade
Book Week is fast approaching! This year Book Week is held from Monday 21st to Friday 25th of August, and the theme is ‘Read, Grow, Inspire’. We have a number of exciting activities planned across the whole school throughout the week, finishing with our Book Week Dress Up on Friday.
On Friday 25th August, we are asking every single student and staff member to dress up as their favourite book character. There will be a parade for our Primary students, a photobooth for Secondary students, and prizes handed out across the school. More information about the week will be shared by the Heads of Schools shortly. We can’t wait to see all our students’ costumes, so start planning now!

School Photos Update
This year marked the first time that we have managed school photos in-house! This decision was made with the goal of delivering a high quality product to all our families, at a lower cost. We are extremely grateful to our Production and Administration teams for all their hard work in making this happen.
Photos are in the final stage of being printed and packaged and will be distributed to students in the next few weeks for them to bring home. If you have any questions, please contact marsdenpark@acc.edu.au or call our Reception on 02 9421 7111.
