We would like to invite our parents/carers to join us at the College for a delicious bacon and egg roll starting at 8:00am. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other parents/carers and teachers. To help us with catering, please RSVP by filling out the following form.

The breakfast will conclude at 8:30am, at which point we will say our farewell to all parents/carers.
Please note that this breakfast is for parents/carers only, all Year 7 2026 students will be moved to the Mercy Centre to allow plenty of time to be checked in ready for their student program to commence.

Student program:

  • Students to be checked in by 8:45am.
  • Student program starts at 8:55am.
  • Student program ends (end of school day) - 3:25pm. (Students will be assisted to the bus bay if catching the bus or to the Sea Street gates if getting collected from the College.)

Important Information:
Absence: this is a COMPULSORY day for all enrolled students to attend. Please inform your child’s primary school that they will be absent on this day. If your child is unable to attend the Orientation Day e.g. due to sickness, please contact us as soon as possible to advise us of their absence (before 8.55am Wednesday 12 November 2025).

Transport: it is the responsibility of families to arrange transport for their child to and from the College for this day. Please note, your child's primary school will NOT be arranging transport.

Bus - families will need to confirm with the relevant bus company if there will be space for their child to use bus transportation to and from the College - please DO NOT assume this is the case. Students travelling to and from the College by bus will use the College bus bay area. Staff will assist students in the afternoon to ensure that they catch the correct bus.

Car - if transporting your child yourself please drop them off and pick them up outside the main Sea Street entrance. If you are staying for breakfast please park in the surrounding streets. Please DO NOT use the North Street entrance/car park or Sea Street entrance/car parks. Pedestrian access is via the main gate on Sea Street.

Uniform: our child is to wear their primary school sport uniform including hat.

Lunch: we will provide a sausage sizzle for lunch. If your child has special dietary requirements or requires additional food to satisfy their appetite at lunchtime please send alternative/additional food with them.

Your child should bring with them:

  • school bag
  • pen
  • their own recess
  • water for the day
  • additional/alternative food if required

Medication: if your child would normally carry medication such as an asthma puffer or Epipen please ensure that they have these with them on the day. If they require other medication through the day please contact the College via email kmps@lism.catholic.edu.au to discuss arrangements.

If there is any information that you feel the College requires to ensure the health and wellbeing of your child during Orientation Day please email kmps@lism.catholic.edu.au

This is a very important day for all our Year 7, 2026 students. The program that has been prepared will be engaging and will provide activities allowing students to get to know their year group, their teachers and an orientation of College classrooms and related facilities.
