Preparing for social media changes
From 10 December 2025, some social media platforms must prevent Australians under 16 from creating or keeping accounts.
eSafety has updated its guidance on which platforms are likely to be age-restricted. These include Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X, and YouTube.
Platforms we consider do not currently meet the criteria for ‘age-restricted social media platform’ and are therefore not age-restricted include Discord, GitHub, Google Classroom, LEGO Play, Messenger, Roblox, Steam, WhatsApp, and YouTube Kids.
Technology changes quickly, so this list isn’t fixed. We’ll keep sharing updates on our website.
To help young people, families and educators prepare, eSafety has released a package of resources on a dedicated online hub and will run live webinars to provide information and answer questions.

School Fees
Please don't forget all school fees need to be paid in full on the 21st November 2025 for the year.
The balance outstanding is available on your Compass parent app, or feel free to call the front office to check your school fee balance.
Note that if for some reason you do not think you will be able to have your fees paid in full on or by this date, please let either Mrs Yates or Mrs Vasta know so that we can advise our finance team in Armidale of your financial situation.
