Welcome, Year 6 students, parents and carers,
I have met many of you wonderful students already across our transition days, however there are some that I may not have met yet and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you all to Colo High School in 2023.
But who am I? My name is Miss S. Purcell and I will be your Year Advisor in 2023. As your Year Advisor, I will be your first point of call for any support you may need whilst at high school. You can find me in the Social Science staffroom, which I will make sure to show you how to find when you visit later this term.
I look forward to getting to know you all over the next fews years and can’t wait to see all your smiling faces.
Miss S. Purcell

The school recognises the need to prepare our students for the rapidly-changing world, where technology plays a large role in our personal, social and professional lives.

More information can be found on our BYOD information page.
