Online Parent Opinion Survey

On Monday 7 August, you will receive, via email, a link to our Parent/Caregivers/Guardians survey. The annual survey is offered by the Department of Education and is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behavior, and student engagement. The survey is optional but we encourage all families to participate. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies. The survey will close on Friday 8 September 2023.

Respectful Relationships - Wellbeing Programme

In weeks 6-10, students will be looking at Topic 7: Gender and Identity. Learning activities within this topic assist students to challenge stereotypes and critique the influence of gender stereotypes on attitudes and behaviour. They will learn about key issues relating to human rights, gender, and identity and focus on the importance of respect within relationships.

If unwell stay at home - Impact of influenza (flu)

To help protect our school and the wider community, we ask that unwell students stay home, given the impacts of flu and colds on our school community.   

We appreciate that attendance is important, but if your child has symptoms and is unwell, please keep them at home as this will help stop the spread of colds and flu to other children and staff.
