Be Organised for Class
A reminder to students to arrive to class ready to learn and with the necessary equipment (computer, pen and book).
It would be appreciated if parents could please have a talk with students to make sure they have the necessary equipment at school, about being organised and attending class ready to learn.
Variety Night
Wow! What a performance!
We are incredibly proud of the students who were involved in our College Performing Arts Showcase on Tuesday, 15th and Wednesday, 16th November. Students performed Music, Dance and Drama items on stage at the Mildura Arts Centre in an engaging production. Students demonstrated their commitment to the Performing Arts, attending many lunchtime rehearsals and practising at home in order to present quality performances for our Showcase. So much fun was had by everyone involved and we appreciate that we were able to continue our College tradition this year, after not being able to present our Performing Showcase for the last two years. Thank you to the staff who worked hard to make our production possible. We would also like to sincerely thank parents and carers who have supported our students, making sure they were able to attend and coming to see the show. We value your support.

Game Street Easement
A request to parents and staff who use the Game Street entrance near the gymnasium.
Please ensure you do not drive across the Lower Murray Water easement when entering or leaving this area. The land where the old channel was located is getting damaged, particularly in wet weather, because cars are driving across this space and onto Channel Road.
We are currently working on the development of a staff parking area, which will greatly alleviate the congestion around the Game Street entrance, but we would appreciate your assistance in the meantime.
Game Street Parking
Could Staff and Parents please ensure when parking along Game Street you do not park over residents drive ways.
No Hats No Play
During Term 4, all primary students are required to wear a hat out in the yard at recess and lunch times. The school policy is 'No Hat No Play'. Students without a hat will need to sit in the designated shaded areas. If you need to purchase a hat for your child you can do so at the school's main office.
