At the front of our school we have a very special circular seat that most of you will have noticed and some of you will have taken a sat upon, whilst waiting for your children to start or finish their day with us.
This seat has been placed here in loving memory of 2 amazing young ladies; Hannah Seymour and Rebecca Teuma who attended our school from Kindy through to Year 6 but who tragically lost their lives in 2022. We hope this seat brings comfort to their families and to all who had the pleasure of knowing Hannah and Becky.

It is really important to keep up with Compass events and permissions and process them by the due date - late permissions will not be able to be accepted this year.
If your child is not participating or attending an event we still need you to choose 'decline' in the options so that we know you are aware that it is on and your child
does not miss out.
Uniform
We have ordered size 4 and size 6 polo shirts that were out of stock and they are on their way. If you ordered a size 6 we will fulfil your order asap. Thank you for your patience.
